The Cleveland Cavaliers sent shockwaves throughout the NBA on Thursday afternoon as they executed a number of blockbuster trades resulting in an entirely revamped roster.

One of those trades included bringing former Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson to the Cavs along with teammate Larry Nance Jr. in exchange for Isaiah Thomas, Channing Frye and their own first-round draft pick.

Although it was clear that Jordan was emotional following his exit from Los Angeles, he posted an inspiring message via social media following the trade:

Clarkson also spoke with Tania Ganguli of the Los Angeles Times and couldn’t contain his excitement when asked about competing for a possible championship in Cleveland:

“Yeah that’s real exciting. Just really changed my mindset on everything knowing that we’re coming in there trying to compete for a title.”

Clarkson, 25, will bring with him a dynamic scoring punch off the bench that the Cavs have been desperately lacking. In just 23.7 minutes per game this season, Clarkson is averaging 14.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game.
