Our NBA experts break down what happened and what it means.
1. So ... how good are the Cavs now?
Kevin Arnovitz, ESPN.com: They're decidedly better. This rot that's been plaguing Cleveland has been defensive and chemical in nature, and these transactions should improve the team on both accounts -- though the bar is low. The Cavs now have the personnel to be a substantially better defensive team, provided everybody buys in. They didn't acquire a rim protector, but they swap out one of the least effective defensive point guards in basketball in Isaiah Thomas for one in George Hill who has consistently rated as one of the best.
