In what is being called the making of yet another dynamic duo — think Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, Magic Johnson and Kareem Addul-Jabbar — Shaquille O'Neal has reportedly been traded to the Cleveland Caveliers, where he'll partner up with MVP LeBron James. (Sources close to the deal confirmed this with the Associated Press.)

Will Shaq and LeBron finally give the Cavaliers the championship they so desperately want?

In his first season with the Phoenix Suns, Shaquille O'Neal did nothing to help his team get past the first round of the playoffs. In his second season with Phoenix, the Suns — with stars Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire and Grant Hill — didn't even make the playoffs.

So what can O'Neal possibly be expected to achieve as a Cleveland Cavalier? Well, maybe the difference here is LeBron James.

Now might be a great time to throw down a little dough on those NBA Basketball Futures…
