It won’t be the biggest deal made before the NBA trade deadline, but the Cleveland Cavaliers have created some flexibility by moving Chris Andersen. The Cleveland Cavaliers are looking to add some depth, perhaps via trade before the Feb. 23 deadline or more likely via a signing of someone off the street. Center Chris “Birdman” Andersen played 12 games this season before suffering a torn right ACL in mid-December, which has made him an obvious candidate to be traded or waived as the Cavaliers try to add some roster flexibility. According to Marc Spears of The Undefeated, the Cavaliers have traded Andersen and cash to the Charlotte Hornets for a protected second-round draft pick. ESPN’s Dave McMenamin adds the pick Cleveland is getting in the deal is top-55 protected for 2017, which base on Charlotte’s current record makes it unlikely the pick actually changes hands. - See more at: http://www.foxsports.com/nba/story/...hornets-021317?cmpid=feed:-sports-CQ-RSS-Feed
