The Cleveland Cavaliers just cleaned out the house, trading away six different players within a span of 90 minutes. 

Everyone was saying the Cleveland Cavaliers needed to make a few changes. Well, here they are. In one of the most chaotic moments in NBA-Twitter history, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news of multiple trades going down in Cleveland.

The entire Cleveland Cavaliers roster has been revamped.

Now that all the craziness has subsided, it’s time to break down the effects of these trades. It’s clear when looking at each trade that the Cavaliers had one goal in mind. That goal was to find young players with good potential. The Cavaliers achieved at least half of this goal, as the combined age of the team is now 75 years younger than before.

But, are these the players that the Cavaliers can bank the future of the franchise on? Furthermore, can these players help the team contend in the playoffs and possibly even persuade LeBron James to re-sign in the Summer?

Let’s take a deeper look into how these changes will affect the team in the present and in the future. Is it possible that this team is deeper now than it was before?

To make everything as clear as possible, we will break down each trade individually.

At the end, we will compare the old roster to the new roster and determine if the Cavs won or lost in the big picture.
