The four-team trade that sent James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets took the league by surprise. As a result, players such as Caris LeVert ended up in Indiana, sending Victor Oladipo to the Rockets, teaming up with John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins. The Cleveland Cavaliers were also involved in this trade, as the Cavs received center Jarrett Allen and Taurean Prince.
Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. was excited to see another big man join the team, as not only does the team now have great paint protection and rebounding abilities, but also a forest to surround the so-called “Sexland” combination of Collin Sexton and Darius Garland. Here is what Nance Jr. tweeted about the recent acquisition of Allen:
Forward Kevin Love even contributed to the ongoing joke with his tweet:
Nance Jr. coined the fusion of the guards’ names earlier this season and it has caught on ever since. The Cavaliers had a terrific start to the season, as they won the first three out of four contests. Though they have experienced a decline recently, the Cavs are on track to do far better than last season, and even find a spot in the playoffs if they continue to compete with the best of the best.
Led by “Sexland” in the frontcourt, the Cavs backcourt now consists of Allen, Nance Jr. Love, and Drummond, all talented big men ready to bully those who get in their way and swat shots left and right on the defensive end.
