Not really... at this point Shaq's not much more than a big body for LeBron to feed every now and then, going up against the east Shaq was largely ineffective(which was one thing that ultimately led to his subsequent trade to the West). The best thing going for Cleveland right now is that they should be able to keep Z and Shaq healthy by rotating them, but neither player is anywhere near their prime, or height of their effectiveness. This trade seems more for show, and marketing than it does for basketball. In fact, I'd say Cleveland management is thinking by acquiring a name rather than a player that will directly influence the ability of LeBron(say, Michael Redd or Ray Allen whom would perfectly compliment LeBron as a players who can create their own shots) that LeBron will be more apt to stay in Cleveland after his contract expires.

It's funny how daft Cleveland management is at building a team.
