Cleveland clears cap space

The Cleveland Cavaliers continued their relentless charge to bring LeBron James back to Cleveland as the team today culled some space on the salary cap in a three way deal with the Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics that can only be looked at as making space to entice James.

The Cavaliers swapped veteran point guard Jarrett Jack and 2014 first rounder Sergei Karasev to the Nets,while sending 2013 first rounder Tyler Zeller along with the team's 2016 first rounder (protected from lottery) to the Celtics while Cleveland received the rights to three players that have never played in the NBA and one that hasn't even played in Europe in years.
Cleveland could pull in a future second round draft pick,if certain conditions were met,but that is likely to be a moot point.

The deal was made to create space to attract LeBron James and if he indeed is returning to Cleveland with the space made by this deal,then it was a successful trade.
However,if this has been another attention seeking maneuver by James and he stays in Miami-the Cleveland Cavaliers traded two first round picks that are nice role players (Zeller) and one (Karasev) with the possible potential to be an off the bench scorer that all teams seem to have for essentially cap space to attract players that likely would not be coming to town.-this could loom as a huge mistake.
The Cavaliers are all in and I suppose Karasev and Zeller might be worth the risk of losing to add James.
I know Jarrett Jack is worth losing as Jack was overpaid and underproducing in his one year in Cleveland and veteran PG types are a dime a dozen in this league.

Give the Cavaliers credit for being in the race in a battle that would have never been imagined a few years ago and I'll easily do that,but deals like this and other rumored (Please-NO moving Andrew Wiggins!) are risks that we will have to wait and see whether they were worth it or not.

I'll be back later tonight with a special post.....
