Cleveland Cavaliers have once again turned to the trade market.
The Cavs recently sent seldom-used center Brendan Haywood and guard Mike Miller to the Portland Trail Blazers along with two future second-round picks, all for the chance to pick up a pair of trade exceptions (via Chris Haynes of the Northeast Ohio Media Group).
Since Cleveland is well over the salary cap, these exceptions will allow them to trade for players for one calendar year without having to send back matching salaries.
Haywood's exception is valued at $10.5 million while Miller's is worth $2.
