Cavs Announce Max Strus Three-Team Trade With Heat, Spurs

The Cavaliers, Heat and Spurs have officially announced the three-team trade that will send guard/forward Max Strus to Cleveland, and wing Cedi Osman and Lamar Stevens to San Antonio.

As part of the deal, the Heat will also swap second-round picks with the Spurs, with Miami receiving a 2027 selection and San Antonio landing a 2026 pick. The Cavs also sent cash to the Spurs.

Strus, 27, averaged 11.5 points on 41 percent shooting in 80 games last season, hitting 35 percent of his 3-point attempts. 

Osman, 28, had a slight dip in production last season, averaging 8.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in 77 games, shooting 45 percent from the field and 37 percent on 3-pointers. His 20.1 minutes per game were the lowest since his rookie year of 2017-18.

Stevens, 25, appeared in 62 games, starting 25 and averaging 5.3 points and 3.3 rebounds, while shooting 45 percent from the field. He also served as a reliable perimeter defender and a guy who made plays that don’t show up on the stat sheet.
