| Cavaliers, at sub-.500, to blow up roster at trading deadline? | |
The Cleveland Cavaliers were a fairly stable franchise during the LeBron James Era, but now that the team is moving into life without the kid from Akron, things aren’t expected to be so solid. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that there aren’t any trades currently planned, but if the team can’t get itself above .500 at mid-season, there could be a lot of player movement. The Plain Dealer claims that if that’s the case, the team will put Mo Williams , Antawn Jamison , Anthony Parker and Jamario Moon on the trading block and is guessing there’s a 60/40 chance right now that Jamison will be gone before the trading deadline passes.
