I Cleveland Cavaliers were among the biggest surprises of this season start in NBA. The Ohio team, after years of poor results, is in fifth place in the Eastern Conference and seems to have found a convincing and effective game. Things got complicated, however, with Ricky’s injury Rubio, point guard and fundamental pawn in the game of coach Bickerstaff. To replace him, according to Adrian Wojnarovski from ESPN, i Cavs they would have put Rajon in their sights Rondo. The player, former NBA champion with i Boston Celtics In the 2008, is outgoing from The Angels Lakers, with which he won his second title in 2020, and just out of the anti-Covid protocol may already join the new team. Cleveland could add a player with a minimum contract to the trade, or surrender to yellow-violet a pick on the second round of the draft, with the first option looking more likely.
In fact, the Ohio team still has one available trade exception which can possibly absorb i 2.6 million dollars provided for in the Rondo contract. The exchange therefore would not foresee the arrival of any major player in Los Angeles. In fact, exchanging a contract at the minimum wage allows you to receive an unsecured player who can be cut immediately, freeing up a place in the roster for new grafts. And this is precisely what the deductible could choose to do losangelina, to then go and get a more functional player to revive a team in serious difficulty, dragged only by a LeBron James who has just reached 36,000 career points.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are nearing a trade to acquire Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo — and an agreement is expected to be reached as soon as Friday, sources tell ESPN. Rondo would be able to join Cleveland as soon as he clears Covid protocols.
