Replacing DeAndre Liggins and Larry Sanders with Dahntay Jones and Walter “Edy” Tavares is one way for the Cleveland Cavaliers to take the air out of the building but should it?
Liggins and Sanders had become fan favorites despite their lack of playing time in the final stretch of the season. Liggins, a defensive-minded guard who made his fans in Cleveland with his fullcourt pressure and impact on Stephen Curry in their Christmas Day game was waived first. However, Liggins ended up on the end of the Cleveland Cavaliers bench as Tyronn Lue benched him in favor of Iman Shumpert.
