CAVS LAND PAVLOVIC
The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired forward Aleksandar Pavlovic from the Charlotte Bobcats for a future first-round draft pick.
What does it give the Cleveland Cavaliers
A young talent who just might surprise some people. Pavlovic very
quietly had a nice little rookie season for the Jazz in '03-04, but he
didn't seem to fit into their massive rebuilding project. That's a
little surprising, since he's only 20 years old and has good offensive
upside. Cleveland likely sees Pavlovic as a possible future Peja
Stojakovic, and he may actually come close if given an opportunity in
Cav-land.
What does it give the Charlotte Hornets
A very nice draft pick to keep them growing in the future. Already the
Bobs have established they aren't big on players who can't play defense,
and that's Pavlovic's biggest challenge. It was a smart move to grab a
guy they knew other teams would like and parlay him immediately into
something they want.
