Jamal Crawford went to Minnesota for $4.5M/year. Tyreke Evans went to Memphis for $3.3M. CJ Miles sign-and-trade to Toronto. These were three targets Cleveland Cavaliers’ faithful thought would make sense (including me). Instead, they went for true defensive guys who are not old and do not have serious health issues. Jeff Green and Cedi Osman are exactly what the Cavs need to get back to the Finals. And the Cavs aren’t done. They will make at least one more move (using the rest of their MLE) and probably one more trade (sorry Shump) to get the roster ready for 2017-18.
