So, here we are, four days after the Dion Waiters trade and less than two full days after the Mozgov trade. Oh, and another two losses in this frighteningly average season.
Regardless on your feelings on any of the players that were involved in this trade (Dion for being a knucklehead who thinks he's better than Kyrie, J.R. Smith for being a cocky-sonnova-bitch with knucklehead tendencies, or Mozgov for being tall, or the right answer---Iman Shumpert for his dope ass hightop fade) these were moves that were warranted, and possibly even necessary to save the season.
While the players that came to the Cavs in both of these trades might not be anything that would classify the moves as "blockbuster moves", the pieces that are coming back might be just what this team needs to sure up some of the details that the team has been lacking (particularly on the defensive end).
