Cavs’ waiving of Alfonzo McKinnie, Tyler Cook for roster flexibility, not blockbuster trade

The Cleveland Cavaliers are seemingly near a stretch of the 2019-20 season where they’ll be ripe for a number of roster moves. The Cavaliers still have four players on the roster in Tristan Thompson, John Henson, Matthew Dellavedova and Brandon Knight that are on expiring contracts, and Thompson, and now even Henson to some degree, I’d expect to warrant some decent trade value.

At this point, though, the Cavs aren’t quite at the countdown of the February 6 trade deadline just yet, and them reportedly waiving Alfonzo McKinnie and Tyler Cook on Monday isn’t in relation to a blockbuster trade, feasibly involving the disgruntled Kevin Love, who should be dealt by the deadline to avoid further distraction, it seems.
