    Knight and our pick? I don’t watch Alec hoop, is this anything of value or the dreaded dumping of salary?

    He was traded for Korver basically

    Sounds disappointing if true, “homerun for the cavs” - yea they will flip Knights expiring next year for an asset as well

    Knight + First for Burks makes sense in a boring save money type of way.

    Paying a first to dump Knight; Burks $11,536,51 expiring.

    Cleveland and the Houston Rockets remained engaged late Tuesday on a deal that would bring Brandon Knight and the Rockets’ first-round pick to Cleveland in exchange for Alec Burks, two league sources told The Athletic. By today’s NBA standards, if the Cavs can complete the deal, it would be a home run. Burks was obtained, along with a pair of second-round picks, in November in exchange for Kyle Korver.

    It's a Tax Saving Deal

    38% from 3 on 3.7 attempts per game in CLE, another streaky shooter.

    18% DREB% is eye-popping for a 6'6" dude

    Also he's an expiring

    Guys it was sarcasm lol.


    Wouldn't mind it.

    I'd thrown in a 2nd if they would take Chriss with their Rodney Hood TPE.

    This is a meaningless move. If Morey's not able to pull off something much more impactful, it's time to question his job security. He's been awful as of late.

    Will be really disappointed by this deal. Not because the player can’t be useful in limited minutes but rather that this is all about luxury tax savings.
