The Cavaliers filled a few big needs this week with their series of moves, and the biggest might have been acquiring center Timofey Mozgov for a pair of future first-round picks. Even before Anderson Varejao's season-ending injury, the Cavs needed frontcourt help, but they became desperate once Varejao went down.
Fantasy owners who were buying into Tristan Thompson's emergence as a consistent double-double threat can't be happy about this news, and those still clinging to Mozgov probably won't be either. As Zach Harper, Joe Polito and I discussed on Friday's Fantasy Basketball podcast, it's hard to see the Cavaliers' frontcourt providing much Fantasy value, outside of Kevin Love.
Additionally, we look at Jusuf Nurkic's value after the trade, and where he falls in the hierarchy of young centers breaking through lately. There's also some Name That Player thrown in for fun, plus FanDuel lineups and the latest injury news and reader emails.
