Cavaliers "buying" a championship?

I live in N.E. Ohio, and as a fan of the New York Yankees, I have always had to listen to the Cleveland fans cry and whine how the Yankees "bought" their championships even though they somehow had amnesia when the Indians "bought" Roberto Alomar, Chuck Finley, Juan Gonzalez, Orel Hershiser, Jack McDowell, etc...but that is for another day...

Anyway, what do the Cleveland fans have to say about their suddenly beloved Cavaliers...during the off-season the Cavaliers went out and acquired one of the biggest names to ever play in the NBA - Shaq - in order to try and win the NBA Championship...personally I do not have a problem with a team acquiring quality talent to try and win a championship...that is good for the fan base when an owner is committed to winning...

My only comment to the Cleveland sports fan - the next time you are ready to open your mouth and complain about the Yankees "buying" their titles, you better look at your own backyard because it looks like the Cavaliers are trying to "buy" a championship too...
