Washington trades Spencer Dinwiddie and Raul Neto to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Ricky Rubio and their first round pick in 2022, currently 24th overall. Cleveland also owns Houston’s 2nd rounder, currently 33rd overall, as another option.
Why do the Cavaliers do the deal?
The Cavaliers are 4th in the East, 11 games over .500 at 31-20. If the playoffs started today they’d have home court vs the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round. Wow. Their season has been a surprise to many, including most of the Cavs fan base.
