I’ve been saying for weeks that the Cavs have absolutely no one to blame but themselves for pissing off their franchise player. They got him no help whatsoever over the first few years of his career. They passed up a trade for the Diesel last year because they wanted to hold on the Wally Szerbiack. Really?

Now, it appears, after years of being clueless, the Cavs have finally realized that they are running out of chances to get their championship ring. After all, the summer of 2010 is only a year away.

So, now with The Big Aristotle and everyone’s favorite Twitter friend on his side, Can LeBron win the title? I think a better question is: Could to the two of them have stopped Hitler’s armies in their tracks in 1939 and prevented all of World War II? Of course, they could win a title. And they probably could have stopped a Panzer tank too. Look at those arms.

Everyone (looking at you, Matt Soldano) who says that there is no way that Shaq can do next year what he did this year are right. However, who out there actually thinks he has to? LeBron led the Cavs to 66 wins surronded by a guy with a mop for hair and a guy who’s only redeeming quality is that his name starts with a Z. With Shaq there to clog the middle and do some rebounding, LeBron will be more free than ever to drive the lane and dunk the ball on dudes heads.

As far as I’m concerned, this makes this team the best in the league. Pencil in another Magic-Cavs Semis this year, and you might as well put Lebron and Shaq in the finals now.

Game. Shaqtus.
