Cavs cut first deaf player.... how was he told?
Lance Allred was recently released by the Cavs.

They guy is deaf. Because he's white and has a handicap (some might suggest whiteness IS a handicap in basketball, not me) you'd think the Cavs would've kept him on in a Chuck Nevitt/Jack Haley role.
But would the guy get chills when he checked in at garbage time and the crowed roared? Would anyone bother trash talking to him? How was he 'told' he was cut? I'm guessing mike brown would've just pointed at him and done the two thumbs down motion, then sort of gotten on two knees and bowed to him to say "but thanks anyway".
Lastly, when does everyone think the first legally blind guy will play in the NBA?
