Trade Coming from the Cleveland Cavaliers

January 18, 2021

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been busy recently as they found themselves directly involved in the James Harden sweepstakes and managed to get quite the pull from the Brooklyn Nets, in Jarret Allen and Taurean Prince. 

Unfortunately for the Cavs, not everyone on their team was thrilled with the news, especially those who lost their locker to one of the new guys.

Freaking out and throwing food? Very professional Mr. Porter. 

As per the Athletic:

Cavaliers guard Kevin Porter Jr. is expected to be traded or released following an outburst Friday in the Cavs locker room, The Athletic has learned from several sources with direct knowledge of the events. Porter, 20, who has not played this season due to personal issues, grew angry when he entered the locker room and realized the team gave his old locker to Taurean Prince, who was acquired in a blockbuster trade Wednesday.
Sources said Porter, whose locker was moved to the wall where the younger, end-of-bench players reside, began yelling and at one point threw food. Sources said general manager Koby Altman came into the locker room and confronted Porter, and the player remained combative with his boss. The Cavs spent the weekend trying to trade him.
The Cavs will likely have to release Porter Jr as not many teams are going to lineup and give away an asset or two for someone who can't hold it together when they're asked to sit somewhere else in the locker room.

Cleveland also has a slew of big men on their roster and will 100% be trading Andre Drummond at some point. Perhaps they can slide Porter Jr into the Drummond trade and kill two birds with one stone.
