Cavs get another scorer for their bench...

Nailon must feel like crap now. The sixers gave up a better second rounder to get rid of him for a worse 2nd rounder.

Yeah, that was very weird. Almost wonder if it was misreported since I think Nailon is only on a one-year contract and was only going to be with the Sixers for another 30 games anyway.
 
He should of tried to get Eric Williams to help out their defense. Who I remember them wanting in January, and Williams has wanted a trade since December.
 
All good things must end.

Lee Nailon's prosperous reign in Cleveland is over.

:D

Cavaliers re-sign Graham, waive Nailon February 24, 2006
CLEVELAND (AP) -- The Cavaliers signed guard Stephen Graham for the rest of the season and waived forward Lee Nailon on Friday.
Graham has averaged 3 points and 1.7 rebounds in six games with Cleveland after being signed to a pair of 10-day contracts on Feb. 6 and 20. He was released Thursday when the Cavaliers acquired Nailon in a trade with Philadelphia and obtained Flip Murray from Seattle for Mike Wilks in an exchange of guards.
Graham also played six games for Houston and three for Chicago this season and is averaging 2.7 points and 1.3 rebounds in 15 games overall.
Nailon played in 22 games for Philadelphia, averaging 4.2 points, 1.9 rebounds and 10.8 minutes.

Good to see Cavs signed Graham, he's been solid since getting the chances with the Cavs.

Nailon is a good scorer, someone will pick him up for their bench.
