The Pacers officially announced their trade with the Cavaliers that sent Caris LeVert to Cleveland, well, he was already in Cleveland but you get the gist, along with a late second round pick for Ricky Rubio, the Cavs first round pick and Houston’s second round pick to use this summer along with a 2027 second round pick.
The Cavs bolster their playing rotation with eyes on getting healthy for a playoff run when LeVert could be quite valuable fortifying their offensive punch off the bench. The Pacers get Rubio and more importantly, his just shy of $18 million expiring contract, but don’t expect to see Rubio at the Fieldhouse.
