The Cavs made another minor deal last night.  They traded a second round pick in 2013 to the Celtics for young big men Luke Harangody and Semih Erden. 

Harangody’s name may sound familiar, he was a pretty prolific four year player at Notre Dame before being drafted in the second round by Beantown this past summer.  He’s a 6’8 power forward, and saw action in 28 games for the C’s this year, averaging eight minutes, two points, and two rebounds per contest.

Erden is a 24 year old 7’0 center that was drafted by Boston in the second round in 2008, and played overseas for them before joining the team this season.  He’s played in 37 games this year, starting seven, and has averaged four points and three rebounds in 15 minutes a night.  He immediately becomes the Cavaliers best center and should get pretty extensive playing time for the Cavs this year.  Not sure what that says.  He can’t possibly be worse than Ryan Hollins.
