Cavaliers trade Joe Harris

The Cleveland Cavaliers made a small move that could open the door for an addition near the trade deadline as the team sent injured guard Joe Harris to Orlando for the 2020 second rounder of the Portland Trail Blazers.
Cleveland sent the Sacramento Kings 2017 second rounder and cash to Orlando as well.

Harris played in five games with the Cavaliers and another ten with the Cleveland affiliate in Canton with the Charge before injuring his foot.
Harris just underwent surgery on the foot today,so clearly the deal for Orlando is for the cash and willing to wait to get anything out of Harris,
For Cleveland,the trade opens up three million dollars that the team could save against the luxury tax,but it also opens up a spot on the roster for a player that could be bought out by the February
deadline from elsewhere.
Often,one can obtain a valuable role player at those times for a fraction of the cost of obtaining a player via the trade route,so this could be a minor deal that leads to something with a larger impact on the roster.

Harris was a second round pick in 2014 from Virginia by the Cavaliers,averaging 2.7 points in 51 games and played often in the first part of the 2014-15 season before seeing the playing time that he was getting dwindle to the level of the DNP.
Harris is known for his outside shot and could eventually help a team with three point shooting prowess,should he return to full strength from the foot surgery.
