As long as he doesn't get minutes.
Boggles me how this scrub is still in the NBA.
And how many teams have relied on this scrub just to watch him fail.

He played 9 minutes a game last year. I don't think anyone was relying on him. He may never even see the court in Cleveland playing behind Waiters, Miller, Jones and Harris... possibly Ray Allen, too. :oldlol:

[Real Men Wear Green]

I heard James name mentioned I this thread so I'm just going to assume he's being sent back for Bogans. Sounds fair.

James Jones is way too much to give up, imho.

[Nash]

Cavs have over 16m in non-guaranteed contracts next summer with Bogans and Haywood to use in a trade.

dem cavs collecting all kinds of pieces. no more old min vet players for Lebron.

Boston helping Cleveland get Love and now possibly more helpful players :facepalm



LeBron will be a great GM when he retires.

I'm sure David Griffin is in constant consultation with LeBron every time they make a roster/salary move.

[Meticode]

With Haywood and Bogans this gives the Cavs about $16 million as a trade dangle in ungaranteed contracts next year. Could be used for a really good player that might be on his way out, or some good players.

To be fair, he DOES play good defense.

[RedBlackAttack]

The Cavs actually could use these two contracts for Roy Hibbert next season if they were so inclined and the Pacers wanted to cut ties. His player option is just under $16 million.

Larry Sanders is another option at $11 million next season. If the Bucks wanted more than just an expirer, this would allow us to absorb more of their salary.


Hell, maybe even a guy like DeAndre Jordan in some kind of S&T?

So many potential options now. Amazing job by the front office.

[ballup]

I don't get why Ainge does this.

[Eric Cartman]

He played 9 minutes a game last year. I don't think anyone was relying on him. He may never even see the court in Cleveland playing behind Waiters, Miller, Jones and Harris... possibly Ray Allen, too. :oldlol:

9 minutes too many...

[Derka]

I don't get why Ainge does this.

Because f*cks...he gives none.

[ballup]

Because f*cks...he gives none.
I got it. Ainge sent Bogans to Cleveland to mess up their locker room! Genius move. :applause:

[Ass Dan]

is he good?

can the Cavs get him? (yes!)

Hahahahahaha, this team better win 70 and a chip next year, anything else is an utter disaster.

[hawkfan]

I don't get why Ainge does this.

Celtics get 2 2nd round picks for a guy they were going to waive anyway.
And 2 2nd round picks can typically be turned into a late 1st round pick, or they can be used as part of another type of trade.

[ballinhun8]

I'm sure David Griffin is in constant consultation with LeBron every time they make a roster/salary move.



Is this sarcasm???


Damn you rba!!

Good motivation for us though. Go through Bogans to get to the finals.

[Pushxx]

Makes sense for both teams, though the Celtics have still have a billion players on their roster even after cutting some today.

[All Net]

Those assets will be huge next summer.

[poido123]

Those assets will be huge next summer.


To think you can add another star to love/irving/lebron is absurd.

The league might as well throw it in after this year :oldlol:

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Ainge :bowdown:

To confirm, he's traded the following in the last ~15 months:

Doc Rivers, Garnett, Pierce, Jason Terry, Keith Bogans, MarShon Brooks, Jordan Crawford, Kris Humphries S&T, conditional 2016 2nd rounder, top 55 protected 2015 2nd rounder

For this:

1 2014 first round pick (Nets; selected James Young 17th)
2 2015 first round picks (Clippers unconditional; 76ers top-14 protected, if not conveyed becomes 15+16 2nd rounders)
1 2015 2nd round pick (Washington, top 49 protected)
2 2016 1st rounders (Nets unconditional, Cleveland top 10 protected)
1 2016 2nd rounder (Miami unconditional)
2017 pick swap option with Nets
1 2018 1st rounder (unconditional, Nets)

(and a bunch of garbage players)

[kurple]

Holy mother of god. I love it. :bowdown:

That could be used on another max player... or a couple really good ones.
no one is dumping anyone good for nothing.

they wouldnt dump them if they were any good. sure, you can get Al Harrington or something

lol, DJ and Sanders. Both teams could get more from half the league.

might be able to get hibbert if he continues like he did last season. but why would you want him then?

cavs. lol. it was the same when they thought they could get Mozgov for free, just because Blatt loves him.

[#number6ix#]

Kd to cleveland next year????

I'm sure Lebron is already working on his pitch, but KD doesn't seem like a bitch.

Sometimes all a guy needs is a change in scenery to revitalize his career. The Pacers have trouble scoring, which means he often get's criticized for his lack of offensive moves. Cavs don't have this issue, and no one will criticize him if he goes scoreless. All he would have to to is rebound and block shots. Cleveland would be perfect for him now that I think about it. Make it happen Bron! :pimp:

Griff continues to play gm of the year :applause:

Why the hell do Cav fans think the Clippers will deal Jordan for garbage? First it was something with Andy V and now, for absolutely nothing?


Cleveland does not have the moveable pieces to acquire Jordan. Stop with the bullshit.

LeBron continues to play gm of the year :applause:





Fixed.

[El Gato Negro]

Fixed.
Griffin has been making great decisions since he took over, way before bran was back in the picture. He cleaned house getting rid of everyone from the brown/ferry era that needed to go.

[Nash]

off to philly. wonder whats going on in cleveland right now.

This is the take from it...

Slick Bogans move. Ensures CLE stays below tax, creating more flexibility for trades, and Bogans TPE functions like his contract would've


Zach Lowe ‏@ZachLowe_NBA 1m
Complicates dream of aggregating Bogans/Haywood in summer, but better for this season. Haywood's $ big enough to get good player on its own

Hopefully he didn't unpack.

Cavs trade Keith Bogans to 76ers

Details and explanations.

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/11598637/keith-bogans-traded-cleveland-cavaliers-philadelphia-76ers


The Cleveland Cavaliers continue to make moves, striking a deal Saturday to move newly acquired guard Keith Bogans to the Philadelphia 76ers, according to sources involved in the process.

Sources told ESPN that the Sixers will receive a future second-round pick from the Cavs for taking on Bogans, whose $5.3 million salary this season and $5.5 million salary next season are fully unguaranteed.

The Cavs will create a $5.3 million trade exception in the process. They had just acquired Bogans on Thursday from the Boston Celtics in a five-player deal that saw rookie Dwight Powell and the unguaranteed contracts of John Lucas, Erik Murphy and Malcolm Thomas go to Boston.

The Celtics created a similar trade exception in that deal and also received two future second-round picks from the Cavs.

The Cavs were motivated to turn around and move Bogans so quickly, sources said, to ensure they stay away from the league's $78 million luxury-tax threshold for the 2014-15 season.

Cleveland hopes that, by moving Bogans into the Sixers' cap space, its new trade exception generated by this deal with be as valuable as a trade chip and simply keeping Bogans and dangling him in potential deals over the next several months.

The Cavs still possess another valuable potential trade piece in veteran center Brendan Haywood, whose $10.5 million salary in 2015-16 is fully unguaranteed and thus likely to appeal to teams seeking ‎cap relief.

Cleveland can now no longer aggregate the contracts of Bogans and Haywood ‎next summer to potentially pursue a player with a superstar salary, but trading Bogans away now likely ensures that the Cavs will have no luxury-tax issues at season's end.

[wakencdukest]

In b4 "How much more help does Lebron need?" :mad:
:rolleyes:



He needs a center and a shooting guard.

[BigTicket]

Makes sense to move Bogans. The luxury tax is no joke, especially for repeat offenders, and the Cavs will almost certainly have to exceed it next year.

Besides, they don't need to add anymore big contracts, and Bogans trade exception will work just fine to add a role player.

Fun fact: With this trade Cleveland now has a smaller payroll than Miami does for the 2014-2015 season.

Fun Fact: Irving, Waiters, and Thompson are still making rookie wages. It'll get more complicated once those guys have to be paid.

didnt Kyrie just get a max deal?

[Cavalier]

didnt Kyrie just get a max deal?

He"s still on the last year of his rookie deal, max deal kicks in next year.

[navy]

How much is Dan Gilbert willing to gamble on this year? Might be a perfect time to get a real center and handicap the team moving forward for a year or two of being the favorites.

[Meticode]

didnt Kyrie just get a max deal?
Yes, but he's still on his $7+ million contract.

[qrich]

Glad this happened, hope it puts an end to idiotic Cav fans thinking they can get DeAndre for shite and Waiters, who is shite as well.
