Cavaliers trade Joe Harris to the Orlando Magic

Published Jan. 12, 2016 5:01 p.m. ET

The Cavaliers have traded Joe Harris to the Orlando Magic, the team announced on Tuesday via official release. 

There were future second round picks involved, too, but those picks -- a 2020 second rounder from the Blazers that would go to Cleveland, and a 2017 second rounder from the Kings that would go to Orlando -- likely won't end up trading hands because they're so heavily-protected.

The Cavaliers will save money on their luxury tax bill (which is astronomical this season), and the move will open up an additional roster spot -- one that could be key in getting some real talent added to the mix later in the season. 

Harris, who underwent season-ending foot surgery on Tuesday, will be waived by the Magic. He appeared in just five games for the Cavaliers this season.
