Fan Blog: Cavs Trade-Deadline

Every season around this time there are tons of rumors floating around the NBA in regards to potential trades that could be going on. This year was no exception. Big names such as Dwight Howard, Monta Ellis, and Carmelo Anthony were all thrown around into these rumors. But even though there weren't any major blockbuster deals this year, some teams did make a splash.

The Cavs were heavily involved in these trade rumors. With only a few players that were considered 'absolutely safe' from being traded on the roster, the Cavs were not afraid to make any sort of deal. The two names that were rumored to be most likely to being traded were Point Guard, Ramon Sessions and Power Forward, Antawn Jamison. Antawn Jamison has come on strong this year and could offer a potential playoff team with a veteran presence that could become a second or third scorer for the team. Several teams were interested but in the end no deal went down for Jamison.

However, Ramon Sessions was another story. The Los Angeles Lakers have been rumored to be heavily interested in acquiring Sessions for about two months now. With the core group of their team aging and the trade of veteran point guard Derek Fisher, the Lakers were forced to trade for the Cavaliers young scoring point guard. Sessions was traded to the Lakers along with Christian Eyenga on March 22nd after averaging 10.4 points per game and 5.4 assists per game so far this season with the Cavs. In return Cleveland got the Lakers 2012 first round draft pick as well as Power Forward Luke Walton. This is yet another move in the rebuilding process for Cleveland. They continue stockpiling draft picks and with the acquisition of this pick they now could have three first rounders this year. With a strong draft class coming out of college this year, it seems like there couldn't be a much better year to have all these picks.
