Did Shaquille O'Neal learn that he was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers via a tweet on Twitter? It certainly would appear that way judging from his responses to a pair of fans who reached out minutes after the trade was announced online:
allonso: @THE_REAL_SHAQ is it true u a CLEVELAND CAVALIER
THE_REAL_SHAQ: @allonso I didn't hear dat yet
And then ...
titans321: @THE_REAL_SHAQ heard you got traded to the cavs. good luck back in the eastern conference.
THE_REAL_SHAQ: @titans321 I did for real no I didn't stop playin

Yeah, but their site doesn't look like shit.
Finallt, we have a real owner in Cleveland who wants a championship as much as the fans.... 45 years of owners, gms and coaches who seemed content on just making a playoff run is out the window, and the choice to raise a trophy in Cleveland is in sight.... Thank you Mr. Gilbert... thank you Danny Ferry..... and now Mike Brown don't you blow this chance we got.
Umm, his twitter is all ready showing a Cleveland Background, i highly doubt he didn't know.
