Erden signed a two-year deal with Anadolu Efes of the Euroleague, the
Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
Erden will not be returning to the Cavs next season. They extended him a qualifying offer, but the big man's inability to carve out a role for the lowly Cavs after being acquired from the Celtics must have given him a bitter taste for the NBA. His absence should result in more time for Tristan Thompson and the rest of the Cavs' developing big men.
