  • Point guard traded in return for Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr
  • Dwyane Wade also returns to Miami in busy day for Cleveland

With the force of a LeBron James dunk, the Cavaliers have shattered their roster. Cleveland completely changed their look and – they hope – their chances of winning an NBA title this season on Thursday with a stunning sequence of trades before the deadline.

The Cavs began their overhaul by sending disappointing guard Isaiah Thomas to the Los Angeles Lakers, according to multiple reports. Thomas played in just 15 games as he returned from a hip injury and struggled to fit in. The Cavs dealt him along with forward Channing Frye and one of their two first-round picks to the Lakers for point guard Jordan Clarkson and forward Larry Nance Jr. Thomas has averaged just 14.7 points per game for Cleveland this season, compared to 28.9 last season with the Celtics.
