TRADE ALERT
2013-01-22
Nothing is imminent yet, It has been done! the Cavs have traded Leuer for Marreese Speights and Josh Selby. Picks may or may not be involved.

Livinston is the anti-Pargo whose veteran leadership oozes playing under control. Selby is the new younger version of Pargo, who basically has more potential upside because of that. Ellington adds a really good shooter to the mix who is bigger than Gibson and more under control than CJ. That might mean three guys playing for one or two roster spots for next year. Speights is a perfect addition offering toughness and a… Read more »
