Dion's put up some points this week, including 14 tonight at OKC with LeBron out, but not a good sign when an obviously displeased Blatt yanks Dion with 7 minutes to play and replaces him the rest of the game with Joe Harris, a rookie from Virginia drafted in the second (and final) round who's been targeted for the Cavs' D League team in Canton. Blatt needed help on defense, he turned to Harris, and it worked, as the Cavs came back and made it a game (although not enough to cover the 4 1/2-pt spread), coming from 17 down to 4.

Blatt also seems to have more confidence in Dellavedova, a 6-4 undrafted 2nd-year player who started tonight with LeBron out. He's playing really well, hit 4 threes tonight, is scrappy, goes hard for rebounds and loose balls and is solid on d...he gave Durant some trouble at times. The way he's playing and seems to be coming on, it may make it easier for the Cavs to part with Dion if a trade partner with a stud rim protector comes calling.

I'd love to see things work out for Dion, but being replaced by a 3rd-string rookie for the last 7 minutes against OKC is not a good thing.
