Woj says Hawes to the Cavs for Earl Clark, Henry Sims, and two seconds.

Which is what I said earlier.

My guess is Earl Clark and Henry Sims.  Both non-guaranteed next year.

Yeah, sorry--your thread had fallen off the front page, so I didn't see it.

While we're on the subject of Hump, do you guys think Ainge should offer Hump and a second rounder for Evan Turner?

Would give Ainge some additional wiggle room under the lux tax threshold on this year, create a TE equal to the difference between the two player salaries, and would give the C's the option to retain Turner's rights for next season via his QO. (It would be a nearly $9 mil QO, though.)

No.  I don't expect any team who trades for Turner will make him a QO, which is why Philly can't get a first.  The trade exception isn't worth a 2nd rounder.  If we want Turner, we can always try to get him next summer using Bogans' contract in a sign-and-trade and send Philly the second rounder then.

Cleveland needed a big who can shoot to put alongside Thompson and/or Varejao. Hawes could help that team. I'm sure Kyrie will love the added spacing.

Plus defense is optional in Cleveland anyways, he'll fit in well.
