My take is that the timing of this move is based on 3 things--
1) Cunningham gets guaranteed for the rest of the year.
2) Joe Harris goes down for the year
3) Cavs found a buyer for Joe's contract at a price they liked
The price needed to unload Joe's contract was only likely to go up as the trade deadline approached so the deal happened now.
This is probably a precursor for a future move like singing a min salary vet who wants a shot at a ring, but the second shoe doesn't fall until either the Cavs lose a key player to injury or the Cavs find a vet they cannot resist. Until then, It' probably going to be very quiet.
