Tough pill to swallow but Cavs agree to Sign&Trade Lebron

[ProfaneReality]

Cavs get (2) 1st round picks, (2) 2nd round picks and a $16 million trade exception

[Chi_archie]

well at least they got somthing out of it

[ProfaneReality]

true and im sure thats what they told Gilbert... but imagine a guy crippling your franchise, and being faced with the deal that pads his wallet by an extra $40 milllion

Does it somehow free up money for Miami?

[ProfaneReality]

no... Miami did this so they can pay Lebron the max and get 6 years instead of 5... if anything it may shrink what Miami has to work with... not cap wise, but how much the Heat owner is willing to go into the luxury tax

[Ace_of_Spades]

These Cavs fans and owners are stupid. Lebron doesn't owe anything to them and he is entitled to go where ever he so desires.

Do the cavs now have money to work with in free agency?

[ProfaneReality]

Cavs are currently $9 million under the cap, and will be $13 million under after they waive Delonte West, which they are expected to do.

Cavs will look to make a trade, as most players they would have gone after have already signed somewhere.

Cavs-Heat 1st round would be amazing

[ProfaneReality]

I agree, I predicted that today talking to a friend... Miami would likely sweep but it would be an unreal enviroment at The Q
