Shaq for Cuyahoga County Deputy Sheriff

Maaaaan, what a week it has been! I haven't taken the time to blog about it, but it feels like I blinked and it was over! Actually I guess the week went by kind of slow, but this weekend was fantastic! Started out Friday night celebrating Grego's birthday by going to the Indians game. Good times with good friends, and Champ didn't pay for the tickets this time so I won't have to hear about it for the next two years! We sat about 10 rows up behind home plate, they won, and it was a fireworks night which is always a bonus.

Saturday morning I got up early to help Ben FINALLY put up the repaired mast on the sailboat. Then, I played in a cornhole tournament all afternoon with Rooney. THEN, I went swimming and got burnt. THEN, we went out on the boat for the night, went swimming in the lake, and went to bed by midnight. All amazing, I just know that noone besides those involved really wants to read all the details, haha. The weekend in pictures:









And the biggest news of the week, SHAQUILLE O'NEAL IS A CAVALIER!!! And so is that guy we drafted in the first round, and so is Danny Green. I love this trade more and more every day, and I really do think that it could be a key addition (a big wing man is the other missing piece). Some people are saying that he is going to clog the lane and LeBron won't be able to drive as much as he has. First of all, that is impossible based on history... He has won multiple championships with Kobe and Dwyane (I LOVE that spell check says I spelled his name wrong), and in each of those situations it was a non-factor. Secondly, LeBron won't need to drive nearly as much as he has because for the first time in his career he has a legitimate big man on his squad. It will be an adjustment to work through the post, but think about how many more scoring chances it will create for LeBron if he can move away from the ball. I'm getting excited just talking about it!!

So the next question is who do we add in free agency? The Cavs are in a pretty good situation, but I just want to make sure that we don't hurt ourselves by trying to overcorrect our playoff meltdown. We were still a team that won 60+ games last year, and we had chemistry that I have never seen before on a Cleveland sports team. So I really do think a key is resigning Varejao and Smith, but you cannot do it at the cost of other, potentially better players. Top prospects in my mind would be anyone who can fill that outside wing shooting position, but still be able to defend bigger perimeter players. This includes Matt Barnes (yeah Greg, I agree), Anthony Parker, and Charlie Villanueva. You let me know your opinion too, take my poll!!

Found this video of Shaq today and I think the best part about it is he is singing Akon. The Cavs' draft pick looks like Akon. So I thought it would be appropriate, and is just another reason why I can't wait for the antics and total domination from the Cavs this season!!!
