Cavaliers remake their roster

The Cavaliers roster looks much different following a flurry of deals just before Thursday’s NBA trading deadline. The shakeup began with a trade that sent guard Isaiah Thomas to the Los Angeles Lakers for a pair of players that included the son of a Cleveland basketball legend. Five other now-former Cavs will also don new jerseys. The most surprisingly departed: Dwayne Wade, headed back to Miami. The redesigned Cavs will be younger, taller and faster as they pursue a fourth straight trip to the NBA finals. Rick Jackson breaks down who’s in and who’s out.
