The Cleveland Cavaliers were able to pull off a trade for De'Andre Hunter from the Atlanta Hawks at the NBA Trade Deadline, which allowed them to avoid the luxury tax and opened up at least 1 roster spot for the remainder of the season. I'm joined by Luka from Real Cavs Fans to discuss the trade, what options they have on the buyout market, and who they could target.

We're celebrating the past week of Cavs basketball through a slew of weekly awards. We preview the upcoming trade deadline - yes I recorded this before the Luka for AD news shook up the league, but the Cavs didn't get involved so I figured it was OK to release this anyways. Finally, we look ahead to the upcoming schedule.

In this episode, we'll give out a few awards as we normally do, but since it has been a tough week in Cavalier basketball, there aren't many to give out. We'll use our normal celebration time to determine whether or not it's time to hit the panic button or if perhaps Cam Johnson is the answer for the Cavs' recent struggles. For a little positivity, I also wanted to touch on the All Star Starter voting and some t...
