Cavs trying to use Shaq to lure Marvin Williams

Money quote from the DA article (emphasis mine):

The Hawks do have an interest in the 38-year-old O'Neal, who is not likely to return to Cleveland next season. But Atlanta has budget limitations after agreeing to give guard Joe Johnson a $124 million max contract, with ownership unlikely to approve a deal for O'Neal or any other backup center that goes much above the veteran minimum.

(SARCASM ALERT!) No! Say it isn't so! Budget limited? Shocker! Even after we were told that signing Johnson didn't mean we couldn't sign other "pieces" to lift that Hawks higher?

Still, it might not be a bad thing to remove Marvin from the books, as long as it wasn't tied to a 3 or 4 year deal for Shaq. 1 or 2 would be fine...and I would much rather have Shaq than Brad Miller or Kurt Thomas.

Exit Question: Would you do a Shaq for Marvin deal?
