The chase for Lebron James has been in overdrive over the last few days and by all accounts it seems it is down to – and many believe has always been- between two teams; The Miami Heat & The Cleveland Cavaliers. In what seems to be an obvious attempt to free up cap space in order to make the Cavs a more appealing destination for Lebron they have traded away journeyman point guard Jarret Jack.
Per Marc Stein of ESPN
Cavs have traded Jarrett Jack to the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday as part of a three-team deal with Boston ..
the Nets have agreed to take on the contracts of Jack and youngster Sergey Karasev from the Cavaliers in a swap that also will see the Celtics acquire Brooklyn’s Marcus Thornton, Cleveland’s Tyler Zeller and a future first-round pick from the Cavaliers.
Cleveland will have to acquire at least one future second-rounder from either Brooklyn or Boston to complete the transaction, but the moves will give the Cavaliers significant financial flexibility, shedding Jack, Zeller and Karasev from their roster.
The trade can not become official till thursday at 12:01 am.
Meanwhile reports are that Heat owner Mikey Arison, team GM Pat Riley, and coach Erik Spolestra are on the way/in Las Vegas as we speak meeting with Lebron James.
Chris Bosh & Carmelo Anthony’s decisions also still loom, when will the first real shoe drop? We’ll keep you updated.
Spencer is still confident Lebron wont leave, sorta… Follow him on Twitter – @Sjeezs
