Cleveland Busts From the Past

The Cleveland Cavaliers recently traded for Shaquille O'Neal. Eyes of Cavs' fans everywhere lit up at the prospects of having two legitimate superstars wearing a Cleveland jersey at the same time. Granted, Shaq's resume is drowning in titles, MVPs and countless other awards and accomplishments, but his best years are behind him. This trade is clearly a good one for both parties. The Cavs get O'Neal's services without being locked into a long-term contract and they give up very little in terms of meaningful contributions from the players they lost, Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic. The Suns get out from under O'Neal's contract and position themselves in a much better place financially. But I would like to take a walk down memory lane and review the many superstar players that have found themselves in Cleveland, usually at the tail end of their careers and, like most things in Cleveland, did not live up to expectations. 1.
