You know the Cavs are going to be one of the very first destinations for what's expected to be a very good crop of player buyouts. And the only thing they've lost of value so far is a 20-something draft pick. Nice job.

Yeah I agree. I would have been behind Randle for an expiring if we could have managed. I guess we will see what bigs are going for net summer. I imagine if we offered the MLE for Randle the Lakers would match but if they are really giving out two maxes they may not be able to afford his qualifying offer.

I really like Nance. Dirty-work, defensive type kinda like Crowder but much more athletic.

I think they should have been able to do all that without giving up their pick in the Lakers deal. They also took on some longer term salary as well. Nance could actually help them a ton because he can do a lot of things fairly well and it's kinda cool he goes to the team where his dad has his jersey retired. If Clarkson can hit 3's he could really give them a nice boast. I'm not sure what kind of a defender he is but he has to be an upgrade from the guys they had playing PG before and with him there they don't have to run George Hill out there for a bunch of minutes. I'm more intruiged by the Cavs than I was a few hours ago and really can it be any worse than what it was before? IF somehow Hill and Hood stay healthy that could be significant.

I am probably in the minority here but I don't think the Cavs got much better at all today. Yes I get what they are doing and a switch of chemistry could really help that team a lot, but in the big picture they added 4 guys who were backups on non playoff teams. Also might be adding long term money, and having to make decision on solid but not great young players and they gave up a pick.
I don't think they got worse but I think a lot of moves that pretty much keeps them in the same spot they will struggle against the East and if they survive they are no closer to the Warriors.
