Cavs make Kevin Porter Jr. trade official

After agreeing to a draft night trade on Thursday to acquire shooting guard Kevin Porter Jr., the 30th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers announced that they have officially made the deal with the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday.

Porter Jr., who couldn’t be introduced along with fellow rookies Darius Garland and Dylan Windler, is a player who Cleveland actually gave up to acquire.

Per reports, the Cavs traded four second-round picks and a record $5 million in cash considerations to get Porter on the team. Keep in mind that the cap hit on Garland — the fifth overall pick in the draft — is $6.
