"You'd say he's a devil, wouldn't you?"

On July 18, as the Pacers were fervently practicing three-point shots, the free agent market was once again bustling.
Shaquille O'Neal, who had been in trade rumors, finally had a clear destination:
The Heat Team sent away Shaquille O'Neal to the Cavaliers for "Big Z," along with the Pacers' 2007 first-round pick, the Cavaliers' 2008 first-round pick, and David Lee, who was the New York Knicks' 30th pick in the 2005 first round, plus a $5 million trade exception.
The New York Knicks sent out David Lee, Channing Frye, and Quentin Richardson, getting Larry Hughes from the Cavaliers, as well as the Cavaliers' 2009 second-round pick and 2010 second-round pick.
