Get another 1st rounder next year although it will be a low pick...25 or so, doesn't matter. also will likely improve their own lottery position by dumping Sessions as well. So I really don't mind taking on Walton's salary at all for a little bit. Everyone thinks the Lakers got the best of this deal which may be true, but a very smart move by the Cavs looking at the big picture.

It was pretty much a non factor of a move really. Sessions was leaving anyway so they more or less bought a low draft pick which a few clubs are willing to sell each year. It wasnt a bad move but I wouldnt give them too much credit
