    Now rumor has it the Cavs want to sign Richard Jefferson...which means even less room for their draft picks.

    Did they sign any of their picks? They can't be traded for 30 days.

    Should be a good deal if we can get the value of at least a mid 2nd round pick. It allows the Cavs to pay much higher luxury tax which we get a small cut of as well.

    Doing this for a second round pick would mean we are doing this to benefit the other team and we are getting a late second rounder which is worth nothing. We need something else.

    Both the Cavs and Celtics could be WAY over their allotment of roster players if you add in their rookies. Boston is currently at 14 with 3 Draft picks still unsigned and Marcus Thornton still unrenounced. That's a total of 18 players so something will have to happen there.

    Similarly, the Cavs have 12 players signed with the addition of Jefferson and Jones. Thompson, Dellavedova and JR Smith have yet to get deals done. The Cavs are also looking at Sasha Kaun and that still leave the aforementioned Thompson, Dellavedova, Smith, possibly Perkins, Marion and Draft picks, Osman, Christmas and Sir'Dominic Pointer unsigned. Something will have to happen there as well.

    Both rosters are opportunities for the Blazers to pick up one more young piece.

    Marcus Thornton signed with the Rockets.

    The other Marcus Thornton, one of their draft picks, signed with an Australian team.

    Is there any update on this land mark deal or is this still a Fischer Price walkie talkie rumor?

    The Cavs sent center Rakeem Christmas, the No. 36 overall pick in June's draft, to the Pacers for the Los Angeles Lakers' 2019 second-round pick, which is owned by Indiana. The trade gives the Cavs roster flexibility and an asset they can use to move Haywood and create a large trade exception in the next week.

    The Portland Trail Blazers and Philadelphia 76ers are the only teams with enough cap space to absorb Haywood and create a trade exception for Cleveland. The Utah Jazz are also close but would have to trade or cut several players with non-guaranteed contracts to do so.

    Since Haywood's contract becomes guaranteed at the end of this month, the trade should happen before that point so the receiving team has time to wave him and have it not impact their CAP space.

    Hmm...is that worth it? I mean, it's 4 years in the future, and who knows if the Lakers will still be terrible at that point.
