Hate it. We just gave up 4 picks for a low efficiency chucker.

Edit: Okay, three picks and still kept the Spurs' second this year while getting a Miami second back. I don't hate it as much anymore.

He is low efficiency because he is playing a lead guard role on a bad team. I think he will fit in with the Cavs, especially considering his previous chemistry with Allen.

The Houston 2nd rounder is basically a late 1st

He is exactly the type of the players the Cavs can use. Maybe 1 pick too much but they also get him for next season. Now they can try to recoup some of that value from Sexton.

Edit - Just saw that the Cavs got a 2nd rounder from Indy too. Great trade for both sides.

This makes the Cavs real tough. Surprised they are really pushing all the chips in this year when their team is so young.

Just saw the edit. Still don’t like his fit here though. He’s a ball stopper and he can’t shoot the three well.

Wtf was that like 5 different OPs merged into one? Lol

I've never been big on LeVert's dreadfully inefficient game but Cleveland was desperate for a wing so he probably brings more value to them than he would just about any other team in the league

Dare I say a great move for Cleveland. They now have the two prized pieces from the James Harden trade in Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert. Now that's something.
