He didn't look all that good in summer league, for whatever that is worth.

Why?

Saves us probably 4 million in luxury tax for someone who isnt very good and won't see any playing time.

Also, we have a pick to trade with Haywood now to create a TPE.

Farewell, we hardly knew you.

So net result of the trade is now pick 24 for 31(used in Osman) and two 2019 2nd rounders(MIN, IND)

Cavs really punted on the draft this year, eh?

So we traded a high second round draft pick in 2015 for a likely lower second round pick in 2019? GOOD JOB GUYS

Me thinks the Pacers best days are behind them...even with a healthy Paul George.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

According to the Pacers article about the trade, the 2nd rounder is the one they got from the Lakers for Hibbert.

Hopefully this means we're working on a nice Haywood deal that requires a pick.

 

[BimboColesHair]

From "more talented than Tristan Thompson" to traded for a 2nd rounder 4 years from now in 2 weeks...

 

[ajz20]

ZERO chance of that happening.... you don't give him away to generate a TPE. You give away guys like Christian Eyenga.

 

[Redzone]

Remind me to stop watching the NBA lottery/draft and awful summer league games and to stop reading Chad Ford, et al. I've spent way too much time scouting our draft selections the past three years only to see them disappear in smoke!

Guarantee the Cavs lose on Christmas Day.
