| 1 | CLEVELAND (AP) -- A person familiar with the trade says the Cavaliers have traded forward Mike Miller and center Brendan Haywood to Portland to create salary-cap room and save luxury-tax money. |
| 2 | The Cavs have been shopping Haywood's expiring $10.5 million contract deal for weeks and worked out a deal with the Blazers, who will also get two second-round picks from Cleveland, said the person who spoke Monday to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal is pending league approval. |
| 3 | The Blazers are expected to cut Haywood, who barely played for Cleveland last season. |
| 4 | Miller was signed last summer, bringing playoff experience and 3-point shooting to the Cavs, but he was hardly used in the playoffs. |
| 5 | The moves will allow the Cavs to create trade exceptions for $10.5 million and $2.85 million to sign players. |
| 6 | Yahoo! and ESPN previously reported the trade. |
