The Cleveland Cavaliers were the most active team leading up to the NBA trade deadline, and general manager Koby Altman thought it was necessary to change things up.
"We felt like we were on a slow death march, and that's not something I wanted to be a part of," Altman said Thursday, per Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com.
The Cavaliers announced the trade of Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. for Isaiah Thomas and more, and they also acquired George Hill and Rodney Hood in a three-team deal.
