After unloading Dion Waiters to OKC and acquiring JR Smith and Iman Shumpert from the Knicks, the Cleveland Cavaliers are not be done making moves.
Smith and Shump will help out on the perimeter but the Cavs still sorely need help around the rim. That’s why they have landed Timofey Mozgov from Denver. Mozgov will serve as the big body down load not that Verajao is gone for the season. Is he worth two first rounders though?
Ken Berger of CBSSports.com confirms a Yahoo Sports report that the Cleveland Cavaliers have traded two first-round picks to the Denver Nuggets for center Timofey Mozgov. The picks include Oklahoma City’s 1-18-protected first-rounder they acquired in the Dion Waiters deal, and the Memphis’ Grizzlies’ 1-5 and 15-30 protected first-rounder this season (which becomes only top five protected in two years).
