Description: On this edition of Locked On Cavs, Danny Cunningham reacts to the Cleveland Cavaliers not making an additional move at the trade deadline on Thursday, rather just allowing the move for James Harden be the big swing that takes the team to the next level. Danny discusses why it would have been a bad idea for the Cavs to dump additional salary after trading for Harden, sending the wrong message after making a very clear win-now move. He also talks about the other Eastern Conference contenders not doing much could be beneficial to the Cavs. Check out Danny’s Substack, The Inside Shot: https://theinsideshot.substack.com/Email the show: LOCavsmailbag@gmail.comEverydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
