The Cleveland Cavaliers could easily make another trade, but who would they give up? Let’s breakdown the Cavaliers top trade-worthy assets.

Both David Griffin and LeBron James have pointed out the Cleveland Cavaliers have holes in their current team. Griffin believes that adding another solid front court, and James believes that the Cavaliers could use a veteran backup point guard. 

The Cavaliers need a spark to their bench. After the big three, Channing Frye’s 9.4 points per game is the closest that any other Cavalier gets to double-figures. With players like Iman Shumpert, J.R. Smith, and Tristan Thompson, it is a shame that Frye is the closest to the mark. This is one reason why the Cavaliers need another trade. They need their bench to able to produce come playoff time in order to help relief Kyrie and LeBron from player 40+ minutes every other night.

While the Cavs were just able to acquire Kyle Korver in a hell of a deal pulled of by GM David Griffin, they may actually have to trade quality assets to continue to improve their team. Players like Andrew Bogut and Deron Williams could serve as potential targets for the Cavaliers.

Although David Griffin does have magical managing powers, acquiring a player of that caliber would require more than Mike Dunleavy and money, but I also thought that about Kyle Korver. With that said, it is about time to examine who the Cavaliers could put on the trading block and how valuable they would become.

With that said, let’s take a look at the assets that Cleveland would be willing to part with.
