On Gimenez: I said on UCSS in October I could see them moving on from him this winter. He wasn’t hitting enough to merit the future $$. Give 2B to Freeman/Schneemann/Brito/whoever until Bazzana is ready. Still, I thought they could get a little more in return. Guess not.

As the unbeaten Cavs prepare for a huge clash tonight with Boston, there is something larger at play here: The Cavs are well-prepared for this parity era in the NBA.
