Cavaliers trade Keith Bogans

The Cleveland Cavaliers did not hold onto swingman Keith Bogans very long as the team swung Bogans to the Philadelphia 76ers along with a 2018 second rounder in return for another protected second rounder and most importantly,a 5.3 million trade exception to be used in a trade later this season.
This could have been in the works from the start as Bogans never arrived in Cleveland to meet the media,so he could have been tipped off from the start.
I also (in hindsight) never saw a Bogans tweet on the trade,so that looks like a prepared deal with the Sixers as well..

The loss of Bogans is not a huge one,but I did find it interesting that the team acted so quickly in obtaining a trade exception rather that seeing what Bogans had left in the tank and using Bogans expiring salary with that of Brendan Haywood and obtaining a possible star level player for the 2015-16 season.
That plan is now not possible after this trade,but the option for improving the team is still there through the exception.

Cleveland also will more than likely avoid paying the salary cap penalty for exceeding the cap without the contract of Bogans so I would say that had more than a little to do with this decision,
