CLEVELAND - Another trade and another loss. Custom Borussia Dortmund Jersey . And LeBron James wont be back for another week.The Cavaliers appear to be a long way from NBA title contenders.On Wednesday, the Cavs addressed their biggest need — a rim-protecting big man — by acquiring centre Timofey Mozgov from the Denver Nuggets for two first-round draft picks.The Cavs announced their second major trade in three days during the first half of a 105-93 loss to the Houston Rockets. Cleveland, which has underachieved while enduring a rash of injuries, sent two protected 2015 first-round picks — one acquired in 2013 from Memphis, the other from Oklahoma City this week — to Denver for the 7-foot-1 Mozgov and a 2015 second-round pick.Mozgov averaged 8.5 points and 7.8 rebounds in 35 games this season for the Nuggets. The Cavs feel he can fill the large hole they had in the middle after starting centre Anderson Varejao was lost for the season with a torn Achilles.Cavs general manager David Griffin had targeted Mozgov for months and was finally able to land him — at a steep price.His numbers didnt need to be flashy, Griffin said. Weve got three guys that are top 20 players in the NBA. Those guys can be flashy. We need guys that do the dirt work. ... It fits our needs.Mozgov played for Cavs coach David Blatt on the Russian national team, and their relationship should make the five-year veterans transition a little easier.James, who has missed six straight games with a strained back and left knee, said Mozgov is a welcomed addition.Its something that we need, James said. Its something that once Andy went down, it was something obviously we needed to get bigger in the interior and adding a guy like that who can protect the rim, it will help our team as well.The trade for Mozgov was Clevelands second significant move this week. On Monday, the Cavs dealt guard Dion Waiters to the Thunder and acquired guards J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert from the Knicks. Smith gives the Cavs a proven scorer off the bench and Shumpert is a strong defender, whom Blatt described as willing to take on the opponents top scorer.We need a guy like that, he said.Shumpert is recovering from a dislocated left shoulder and wont be ready to play for at least two more weeks.Smith comes with some baggage. While there is no denying his basketball skill, Smith hasnt always been regarded as a team player, but Griffin said the Cavs have no major concerns about him.His issues have never been as a teammate, Griffin said. J.R. comes to battle, he competes on a consistent basis.Smith went scoreless in his Cleveland debut, missing five shots, including four 3-pointers, in nearly 18 minutes.Last season, Smith was fined $50,000 for untying the shoelaces of three players, including his new Cavaliers teammate Shawn Marion, who felt the incident was blown out of proportion by the media.He should have paid half of it (the fine) then, Smith said, laughing. That was way overblown. Ive been doing it so long. It was surprising they caught it that year. It seemed like one thing after another. Ive been playing against Shawn a long time. It was nothing personal. I didnt try to hurt guys. It was a joke that got taken too far.Smith, who has known James since high school, has no doubt that hell be able to fit in nicely with the Cavs. It wont take him long to figure out Blatts offence.I try to space the floor as much as I can, Smith said. When worst come to worst, my motto is, When in doubt, shoot the ball. Hopefully that wont catch anybody off guard.___AP Sports Writer Jon Krawczynski in Minneapolis contributed to this report.

"He threw the ball well and beat us," left fielder Justin Upton said. "Well just regroup and come back (Sunday)." Chris Johnson drove in Upton for the Braves only run, and Hamels scattered four hits in seven innings to beat Atlanta 2-1 on Saturday night. Jimmy Rollins hit his 12th homer, a two-run shot in the seventh off Shae Simmons (1-1), to provide the Phillies offence. Hamels (4-5) won for the second time in three starts, giving up one run, striking out nine and walking none. He threw 71 of 95 pitches for strikes. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez knew Hamels was going to be tough to beat when he saw the early command of his fastball. "Its not a straight fastball," Gonzalez said. "It sinks and it cuts a lot to the right-handed hitters, and its not an easy at-bat. He did that against us." Atlanta, which had a three-game winning streak snapped, cut its deficit to 2-1 in the seventh inning on Johnsons RBI double. The Braves are tied with Washington for first place in the NL East. Jonathan Papelbon earned his 21st save in 23 chances, needing only five pitches to retire Andrelton Simmons on a groundout, Freddie Freeman on a lineout, and Justin Upton on a popup. Grady Sizemore reached base four times, going 3 for 4 and scoring on Rollins homer for the last-place Phillies. The only baserunner Hamels allowed through the first 4 2-3 innings was Jason Heyward, who was hit by a pitch in the second. Tommy La Stella got the first hit off Hamels, a double in the fifth. Hamels made 50 of his first 65 pitches for strikes before pinch-hitter Tyler Pastornicky singled in the sixth. "Things felt good in the bullpen leading into the game and things transpired from there," Hamels said. "But I definitely understand how difficult it is to reach that type of level." Braves starter Aaron Haraang pitched six scoreless innings, allowing five hits and three walks with five strikeouts. Christian Pulisic Jersey. The right-hander, who had won his last four starts, has a 2.18 ERA in his past five outings. Hamels, 3-3 with a 1.78 ERA in nine road starts this year, received a no-decision in Atlanta on June 16 despite pitching seven scoreless innings in Philadelphias 13-inning victory. Hamels improved to 15-8 with a 3.34 ERA in 31 starts and one relief appearance against the Braves. Ben Revere pinch-hit for him in the eighth. "Ive known Cole for quite a while," Harang said. "I watched him pitch in high school from being there in San Diego. Ive seen him really grow as a pitcher. He was out there being efficient, really attacking the zone and making us be aggressive." Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg unsuccessfully challenged that Johnson was thrown out at second base in the seventh. Johnson stretched a single into a double by beating Chase Utleys tag attempt.
