Cavs successful in finding trade to send Jarrett Jack away

[insidehoops]

The Cavaliers made moves to clear a path for LeBron James to return.

The team created salary-cap space on Thursday with a three-way trade, ensuring they have enough to offer the superstar free agent a maximum contract.

A person familiar with the deals says the Cavs have agreed to trade guard Jarrett Jack, swingman Sergey Karasev and center Tyler Zeller in a three-team deal. The moves are designed to open room under the salary cap so they can land James, the four-time league MVP and most sought after player on the market.

I like the move if we can get LeBron. Assuming LeBron signs, what I like most is that this team can play with size, or insert Anthony Bennett and play "small ball".

We need more muscle in the frontcourt though, I think it would be smart to split the cap space on LeBron (or Ariza) and a defense first big.
