Asset #3: Cedi Osman

Don’t worry if you do not know much about this name. Cedi Osman was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2015 NBA Draft. He was then traded on draft night to the Cleveland Cavaliers along with Rakeem Christmas, and the Cavs sent the rights to Tyus Jones to the Wolves.

Osman is averaging a career-high 8.8 points per game for his Turkish Club. As time passes, Osman is becoming more and more NBA ready, and it is obvious.  His 6-foot-8 frame also helps his tradability.

So, it seems like according to AmicoHoops that Osman has gained interested from other NBA teams. A team like the Nuggets could offer a player like Jameer Nelson to fill the backup point guard hole that was previously mentioned.

The future is now for the Cavaliers. Osman is 21 years old, and he presents a very attractive target for other teams. It is unclear if the Cavaliers are willing to trade Osman.

Trading Osman is a move that the Cavaliers could be willing to make, and I bet David Griffin could somehow get a key rotational player for him.
