Now what?

Chris Fedor: The Cavs have had conversations with Dallas about a sign and trade for Collin Sexton. But if you?re talking about a sign-and-trade, the Cavs need something back that is going to be valuable to them. And neither the Jazz nor the Mavericks have the pieces that the Cavs would want back in a sign and trade for Colin. ? via Hayden Grove @ Cleveland Plain Dealer

So they had a conversation that went no where that's really great news. I'm sure Dallas made the call to Cleveland because everyone knows we have no trade assets.

Would you rather they not call teams to inquire what the asking price is? Doesn?t hurt to have a conversation. Maybe it went nowhere now, it closer to the trade deadline maybe Cleveland will be a little more open to moving him if it isn?t working out.

I think that could be the strategy at this point.

Go with what we have to see how chemistry works, measure successes, see if the young players develop into anything special that can have an impact or become decent trade bait, and determine any areas of need. Then make the necessary moves at TDL or before to fill any voids (injuries, attitudes, etc...) or areas of need to prepare for the POs.

Perhaps we'll be in a better position to knab a guy like Sexton without giving up as many assets as we would have to now and maybe other teams will be in more desperate situations to give up higher caliber players at lower prices.
