Cleveland has discussed trading for Utah point guard Shelvin Mack

[Elizah Huge]

The Cavs have discussed trading for Utah point guard Shelvin Mack, who makes $2.4 million this season and is averaging 7.3 points and 2.8 assists, among others. They need a backup point guard, not so much for the postseason but certainly for March, as they attempt to get All-Star starters LeBron James and Kyrie Irving some rest.

- via Cleveland Plain Dealer

The Cavs have a $4.4 trade exception that expires Monday and like the quote says Mack makes $2.4 million a year so it seems like a perfect match. What's some possibilities? Jordan McCrae and a second? Two seconds? Mack and a second for a future-first?

I knew it. We're getting Love.

What's the date of that article? I thought Mack to Cle was talked about weeks ago, no?

 

[Getting Traded]

I think it's obvious Shelvin is on the trading block. Dante started playing in place of him despite that Dante was playing perhaps as badly as he has all year. And I don't think Shelvin was playing any worse.

This was news like 3 weeks ago.

Yeah, but to be fair, Dante has played better since then and Shelvin has played worse than expected. I'm hoping they trade him and get the rights to Cedi Osman back.

It was posted a little over 2 hours ago. Relevant news.

Just saying there is a thread on this from 3 weeks ago.

I know. I think it was more of speculation/target for Cleveland. This is a reporter actually saying it's been discussed. Could be wrong though.

Liggins + McCrae + 2020 Cle 1st rd pick top-20 protected for Mack and a 2nd rd pick..

I'm not sure if Cleveland wants to trade Liggins tho.. Perhaps a Richard Jefferson reunion tour?

 

[David Stern]

I don't think they can trade us a 1st rounder due to a rule that they can't trade back to back first rounders.

We will also add Ante "The Next Kevin Love" Tomic to the deal.

Seems like a good idea to me

Are we sure Jordan McRae isn't Jeremy Evans under a new name and two years of steroids?

 

[416Klawzz]

Neto sucks, that's why both the Cavs and Lebron don''t want him. Still however
Saint Cy of JFC does still have a man crush on Neto

Cedi Osman is the only young player they have that I have interest in. 21 years old, good three point shooter. No interest in McRae or Liggins. Try to get Osman and a pick.

This. You gotta go further out than 2021. He'll be just 36 then. I'm thinking 2023 or 2024.

PGADHD, how do the prospects look in those drafts?
