National Basketball Association: Cleveland trades Dwyane Wade to Miami
[]
In the NBA, the struggling Cleveland Cavaliers have made some major moves in an effort to turn their season around. The Cavs are just 7--and-13 since Christmas and are shipping Dwyane Wade to Miami in exchange for a second round pick. The former all-star has not been able to really find a role with the club, and returns to the place where he won three NBA titles. Following the deal, LeBron James his longtime friend a teammate tweeted out -- Truly happy for my brother. It's how it's suppose to be. Love you my guy.
That was not the only move the three-time NBA finalists made, the club shipped Isaiah Thomas, Channing Frye and a first round pick next year to the Lakers in exchange for Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. Thomas has not fit in with the team since being acquired in the off-season from Boston for Kyrie Irving.
And they made a second deal, this a three-teamer, sending Derrick Rose and Jae Crowder to Utah. Cleveland receives Rodney Hood and George Hill in return. Iman Shumpert, and Joe Johnson end up going to Sacramento along with a future second round pick to make it work. With Crowder being dealt, Cleveland has no roster players left from trading Kyrie Irving to the Celtics this summer.
