Cavaliers acquire Bogans from Celtics
Cleveland on Thursday night completed a deal with the Boston Celtics to acquire veteran guard Keith Bogans.
The Cavaliers surrendered the non-guaranteed contracts of John Lucas, Erik Murphy and Malcolm Thomas -- as well as a player Boston intends to keep in forward Dwight Powell -- to acquire Bogans and his trade-friendly contract, which holds great appeal to Cleveland.
Cleveland also acquired second-round picks from Boston via Sacramento in 2015 and '17 that are top-55 protected.
Boston, meanwhile, gets a player it likes in Powell as well as second-round picks from Cleveland in 2016 and '17.
The Celtics also waived Chris Johnson and Chris Babb on Thursday.
