The Cavs took a big step towards a complete rebuild tonight by trading away Mo Williams and Jamario Moon for Baron Davis and the Clippers 1st round pick in 2011.The Clippers pick should be a top-10 pick, and that's the key component of this deal. Mo Williams/Baron Davis is a wash. Both have around the same talent level, and neither are 'future' pieces for this team. The Cavs took on Davis' contract that expires at the end of the 2013 season and hopefully that's around when the Cavs are turning the corner, and we can move him and his (then) expiring contract for someone that can help the team at that time.
The bottom line is the Cavs will now have two top-10 picks in next years draft. That's how you rebuild, folks. Hopefully the Cavs aren't done and can find someone to take Jamison off our hands, and if so, we can jump all-in and get this rebuild rolling as fast as possible.
I love the move. Top-tier picks is the fastest way to rebuild a team, and adding two top-10 picks around JJ Hickson, Anderson Varejao, Ramon Sessions (maybe--not sold on him yet) and Christian Eyenga is a good nucleus of guys to start to build around.
It's gonna take a few years, but hell....we're Cleveland fans. We're used to waiting anyways. At least it looks like the Cavs are serious about blowing it up and completely rebuilding, which is what they need to do if they wanna be championship contenders ever again.
Step one of The Process is complete. Let's keep it rolling!
