In his first time commenting about the Cavs trade for Shaq, LeBron had some good things to say about the move:

"Wow," said James about center Shaquille O’Neal. "Anytime you can get a guy like that. . . . I was asked by [management], ‘Would you like him to be a part of this team?’ and I said, ‘Of course.’ I’ve never had a low-post presence since I’ve been in the league. I love it."

“I can use some of my athleticism when a double-team comes and slash to the rim,” James said. “Shaq’s a very good passer, so he’ll just throw it at the rim and I’ll go get it.”

James, who said the Cavaliers are still one of the top teams in the league, expects to be even more of an offensive threat this fall.

“Instead of dribbling the ball up where guys can pressure me, I can catch the ball out of a double-team from Shaq, become a shooter or drive,” James said.

Some good quotes there- I mean this is what you have to say once the deal is made, but I think LeBron is genuinely excited. Although I still say Shaq is a moving coach for him in the final year of his contract, I think he could be a strong addition for this season to come and help LeBron earn a ring for the city he grew up in.
