Cavs: Pros and cons of trading away Larry Nance Jr.

The Cleveland Cavaliers got a few headlines late this week with a trade that involved sending veteran and long-time Cavs player Larry Nance Jr. to the Chicago Bulls, and then was shipped to the Portland Trailblazers when the move became a three-team trade.

In return, the Cavs added a big man, another 7 footer in Lauri Markkanen who came over from the Chicago Bulls. The relatively young former Bull, now a Cavs player, has more of a knack to put up long-distance threes and would lead to some interesting Cavs lineups as the season opens this fall.
