So happy for him but so sad for us Heat fans. My son is going to be so bummed out, he just got Strus’s autograph this past May, when we went to TD Garden and watched the Heat freak out the Celtics.
I’m definitely concerned that our biggest weakness is SF and we traded 2 rotation SF’s for what appears to be a shooting guard (who is probably 3rd on the depth chart behind Donovan and Caris, unless he gets traded). Can Strus play the 3? And does he play defense? I definitely don’t know much about him, so I’d love to have any incorrect assumptions pointed out.
He can definitely play SF, he’s pretty much a swing guard. His defense has improved, but he’s not as pesky as some. Decent D, great shooter when he gets hot, and excellent basketball IQ. He’s also super tough. Get ready for the juice!
Strus is headed to the Cleveland Cavaliers, agreeing to a **$63 million, four-year **deal that was finalized Saturday by making the transaction part of a three-team trade, according to two people familiar with the negotiations.
Strus goes to the Cavaliers, who will send Cedi Osman and Lamar Stevens to San Antonio while Miami gets future second-round draft compensation, said the people who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade terms have not been approved by the NBA.
