Sounds like Cleveland would have taken any deal to get rid of Waiters.

No one knows but it doesn't appear Reggie's involved now.

That's just a bit much praise for a below average player. Waiters isn't good.

Cleveland is getting a first round pick from OKC as well.

Here is the deal:

quote:

The Cleveland Cavaliers have reached an agreement in principle to acquire New York Knicks guards J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert in a multi-team trade that also sends guard Dion Waiters to the Oklahoma City Thunder, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Oklahoma City will give the Cavaliers a protected future first-round draft pick and send guard Lance Thomas to the Knicks, league sources said. As part of the trade, the Cavaliers will send rookie center Alex Kirk, forward Lou Amundson and a 2019 second-round pick to the Knicks, sources said.

For New York, the deal is a salary dump to clear cap space. The Knicks unload the $6.4 million owed to Smith next season.

I actually like this trade for OKC now that they are keeping Reggie Jackson.

Cleveland is the one who lost here imo.

I wonder if the Cavs could have expanded the Love trade back in the summer to include Waiters and maybe get back Shved or Brewer...oh well.

It's a protected first too. If Waiters gives OKC any upgrade off the bench, they made out very well in this:
