Cleveland Cavaliers Acquire Former Alabama Guard in NBA Trade
The Cavaliers saved $6.9 million in salary and reduced luxury tax by over $40 million while adding veteran playmaker Schröder and defensive wing Ellis for roster flexibility.
- On Saturday, the Cleveland Cavaliers acquired veteran point guard Dennis Schröder and wing Keon Ellis in a three‑team trade involving the Chicago Bulls and Sacramento Kings, with the Bulls receiving Dario Saric and two future second‑round picks.
- The Cavaliers moved De'Andre Hunter to save about $50 million in salary and tax bills this season, lowering their tax from $164 million to $120 million, due to his underperformance and salary approaching $24 million.
- Schröder was brought in to stabilize the second unit and relieve playmaking pressure on Donovan Mitchell, while Keon Ellis forces turnovers at 17.1% and shoots near 40% from three.
- The front office secured short-term financial tools and created about a $6.9 million Traded Player Exception while remaining in the second luxury‑tax apron.
- On the Wine and Gold Talk Podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor discussed how the trade could enable potential roster moves involving Darius Garland, with head coach Kenny Atkinson, `very excited about this deal` due to his Atlanta history.
