The Cavaliers traded center Sasha Kaun to the Philadelphia 76ers Friday, clearing a roster spot to sign Chris “Birdman” Andersen.
In return for Kaun, the 76ers sent the Cavs the rights to Chukwudiebere Madaubum.
The Cavs agreed to a deal with Andersen last week, but needed to clear a roster space before signing him for the league minimum. They sent cash to the Sixers, according to the Vertical, essentially renting their cap space.
