The Cleveland Cavaliers shocked the NBA world Thursday afternoon by dealing guard Isaiah Thomas to the Los Angeles Lakers. It was a blockbuster deal and one that few had anticipated.

But the Cavs were far from finished. In a matter of an hour, the Cavs completely remade their roster. Check out a summary of the moves via Adrian Wojnarowski's constantly updating Twitter feed.

So, in terms of players, Cleveland shipped off Isaiah Thomas, Channing Frye, Dwyane Wade, and Iman Shumpert. Cleveland received Larry Nance Jr., Jordan Clarkson, Rodney Hood, and George Hill.

Cleveland got younger and more athletic. It was expected that the Cavs would make some type of move at the deadline, but it's safe to say no one expected this. General Manager Koby Altman now has a completely different roster.
