So Cleveland got Shaq, and they're all ready for the trophy, right? Not really. Shaq will help, especially against Dwight Howard and the Celtics front line, but he alone is not enough to cure the Cavaliers' ills. They still need someone in the backcourt who can create his own shot off the dribble against the best players in the league. They didn't get Vince Carter, who I thinkn would have been excellent for this, so they have to look at other options. Let me say this: even with Shaq, if they don't fix the backcourt, they're done. Again. As we saw againnst Orlando, Mo Williams and Delonte West are not a championship backcourt. Williams is probably OK as a starter, but West is better in an off the bench role. So who should the Cavs get? The headline gives my choice away. Allen Iverson is worth taking a chance on. The Cavs are in a one year mode right now; Shaq won't be back after the 2009-10 season unless he takes a HUGE pay cut. So they might as well go all in. Iverson is a free agent this summer, and can be signed to a one year deal. I think that the handwriting on the wall would be a bigger motivation than any desire to take 30 shots a game.
