I like the move. Varejao was worthless, and frye is a decent big man. Definite upgrade.

He's actually an average defender. Better than James jones so that's always a plus lolsleeper;1782103 wrote:Frye won't play much. Why? He's the worst defender in the league besides Harden.

It's an upgrade but its not a game changer by any means. Does Frye in the rotation allow us to beat GS? No.SportsAndLady;1782106 wrote:I like the move. Varejao was worthless, and frye is a decent big man. Definite upgrade.

I do like the idea of a line up of kyrie, jr, lebron love and frye. Lots and lots of floor spacing. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out

Love and Frye together could be lethal. Gives you two guys who can knock down open 3s on kick outs and gives lbj and kyrie a ton on space to work in iso

Reading that the Cavs still have 2 roster spots open and a TPE. This likely isn't the only move.

Looks like they used the Tpe for frye, and then...
@WindhorstESPN: 2018 1st round pick Cavs are trading to Portland is top 10 protected for 2 years. Cavs also created new trade exception of $9.6M

So now they have a new TPE that will last through next deadline which is huge.

They have Miller and Harris. They have the 10.3 too if they didn't use it for Fryesleeper;1782118 wrote:I think they still have another TPE.

Shump is the only piece I see that could still be moved and I haven't seen a lot of chatter for him recently.

Nice hottaek. I'd take Dwight on this team, but not giving up LBJ/Love/KI/JR Smith/Delly/Shump to get him.sleeper;1782126 wrote:Dwight is a disaster. I wouldn't want him for a bag of peanuts.

He's a cancer at best. He would ruin any chance at chemistry in the locker room. Dwight hasn't made any team better since he left Orlando. Lakers were bad, Rockets are bad; somehow he's going to change and become a relevant player in Cleveland?Commander of Awesome;1782128 wrote:Nice hottaek.

Well, he wasn't healthy in LA, he was a beast in the playoffs, and is now the 4th/5th option on the rockets for some reason. The rockets fired their HC like 11 games into this season after going to the WCF (hardly a case study for a well run organization), so yeah I think Dwight is still a relevant player in the league. He's no longer at his MVP type level, but doesn't mean he's trash.ernest_t_bass;1782133 wrote:You forgot to answer this:

Hate to see Andy go, his hustle created more second chances than any guy in history probably. Dumb move.

Andy was terrible this year. Barely even played. Saved the cavs 10 mill opened up a roster spot for possibly joe Johnson and created another TPE that doesn't expire till after next years trade deadline. Overall an excellent deal

Sam also said in that podcast that the Cavs offered Love and Moz for Counsins and McLemore
