While the Cavs trading for Shaq was a great move that's going to help our team, the trade that changed everything is when Orlando traded for Vince Carter. They gave up Rafer Alston, Courtney Lee, and Tony Battie to acquire a player that is selfish, plays when he wants to, and completely screws up everything that got Orlando into the Finals in the first place. And by making this move, Orlando just guaranteed themselves to lose Hedo Turkoglu who was their go-to guy in crunch time. Orlando was build upon tall shooters who were unselfish and willing make the extra pass for the good of the team. Vince Carter has never cared about the team he's on, only the stats that he posted. Also, Orlando has Carter for two years at around $18M a year. So when you're thinking about what the Cavs can do to get better, just thank Orlando for making themselves worse.
