Cleveland Cavaliers are set to make shocking roster move

For The Land, Tuesday was expected to be for the Cleveland Indians, not the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Sanders, signed by the Cavs on March 13 after two years out of the league battling personal problems, played 13 minutes in five games for the Cavs and scored four points and pulled down four rebounds.

The Cleveland Cavaliers waived Larry Sanders on Wednesday, drawing a line under the team's attempts to resurrect the center's career.

The Cavs are also preparing to sign Dahntay Jones to take the roster spot of DeAndre Liggins, a league source said.

The 7-foot-3, 265-pound Taveres spent much of the 2016-2017 season on the Raptors' D-League affiliate, for whom he averaged 10.6 points, 7.7 rebounds and a league-high 2.7 blocks in 23.7 minutes over 48 games. He's also been on the express shuttle between Canton - the Cavs' D-League affiliate - and Cleveland. He played 48 games with Raptors 905 of the National Basketball Association D-League and played 11 games with the Atlanta Hawks in 2015-16.

Either way, although Jones and Tavares will most likely rarely get playing time during the postseason, the Cavs, who are on a quest to win their second championship in as many years, made two very surprising rosters moves during the 11th hour.

Jones (6-6, 225) last played for the Cavaliers in 2015-16, appearing in one regular season game and 15 playoff games during the team's title run.
