Cavs deal JaVale McGee to Nuggets

Article Summary:
As first reported by The Athletic’s Shams Charania, the Cavs have dealt veteran center JaVale McGee to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for 22-year-old center Isaiah Hartenstein and two future second-round picks. The picks, per a league source, are a top-46 protected 2023 pick and a 2027 unprotected pick. In all, the Cavs have nabbed three future second-round picks for a half season or so of McGee.
The picks are impossible to value exactly, but it’s worth noting Cleveland has used a cache of second-round picks before to move into a pick it wanted.
