I’ll never forget the night the Cavaliers traded for JR Smith. It was January 5, 2015, and my wife and kids had gone to my parents’ house for dinner and to watch the Cavs play the Philadelphia 76ers. The Wine & Gold and been struggling while LeBron James rested some nagging injuries, and despite the fact that Kyrie Irving was also out for that night’s game, I was looking forward to watching them work things out against a Sixers team that was among the worst in the NBA. With Irving out, Dion Waiters was getting the start against his hometown team, or at least he was supposed to.
