FGD Addendum

Not 30 minutes after my Cavs draft post, it came to my attention that the Milwaukee Bucks were close to sending Bobby Simmons and Yi Jianlian to New Jersey for Richard Jefferson.

This could be huge for the Cavs. Why is this huge? Because the Cavs really want to pair Michael Redd with LeBron. We've wanted to for years. Now that the Bucks are rebuilding, they're looking to acquire new talent and unload some players with big contracts, most notably, Simmons and Redd. In addition to the 19th pick, one of the Cavs' most valuable trade pieces is Anderson Varejao, who is entering, for all intents and purposes, a contract year. He wants to go somewhere he can get minutes and prove his worth.

One of the potential destinations is Milwaukee. Since the Cavs matched Varejao's offer sheet last December, Varejao and his agent, Dan Fegan, have the right to approve or veto a trade for a period of one year after the offer sheet signing. Varejao could get what he wants in Milwaukee, but Fegan isn't thrilled about that option because he also represents another Bucks forward, someone who would be competing against Varejao for playing time. Which forward? Yi Jianlian.

If the Cavs add couple more assets...you do the math. Stay tuned.
