Important thing to note: Post-deal Cleveland still has a need for a big man, still has it's $5.4 million trade exception, and now has an open roster spot.  Wright to Cleveland makes that much more sense.

Word is that Dalembert is going to be waived, and the Cavs are speculated to be interested in either claiming him or signing him.

For another first?

Probably some seconds, but maybe we can give them surplus seconds and get upgraded to a 1st.

And then they'll see him play and still need a big man.

Well I would have taken Waiters, but hopefully this opens up the door for them to trade Jackson to us.  ;)

Another trade going down?

As source told @FOXSportsOH earlier, another big man, separate from reported three-team deal with Knicks and Thunder, "in play" for Cavs.

Like someone said here, Brandon Wright is not playing today.
It's nice seeing him get exposed as overrated after having argued with fellow fans for years that he was overrated.. but I don't hate him. I'm looking forward to seeing him [...] bounce around to a couple more teams... eventually come back to Boston[...] and helps us as a role player until he runs himself out of the league.

With Brad Stevens you never know, it might just be a brilliant coaching decision.

Which apparently is the case, since he just subbed in.

To clarify draft picks: ESPN sources say CAVS will receive heavily protected future first-round pick from OKC as part of three-way trade

Even better for the Cavs.

One of the weirdest trades I've seen over the years. All desperate underperforming teams.

OKC already has two good shooting guards, now Waiters. I wouldn't like this

Cavs lose Waiters but add JR Smith and SHump, even more no thanks. SMH

NYK winners by default
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.
