The Cavs drafted Rakeem Christmas in the second round of the 2015 NBA Draft, and although he was unlikely to make the roster this season, he could have had a chance as he developed his game in the D-League. On Thursday afternoon however, the Cleveland Cavalier traded Christmas to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for a 2019 second-round draft pick. Dave McMenamin and Brian Windhorst reported:
