Cavs trade lessens chance of big man busts in draft
Rick Noland notes the three way deal sending Bob Sura to Golden State brings Tractor Traylor and J R Reid to Cleveland. The move reduces the risk of drafting a “big stiff” with the No 8 pick and cites past high picks who failed. It also questions candidates like Przybilla Tsakalidis Mihm and Dampier and points to athletic players with skills as smarter choices for Cleveland.
