The Cleveland Cavaliers have been searching around for the right player to trade for, and we are going to propose three potential trades for them.

After successfully acquiring Kyle Korver in a fantastic deal, the Cleveland Cavaliers have recently been back on the trading market. One of the most recent situations was their being rejected in a trade involving the 76ers’ TJ McConnell.

They have also inquired about Deron Williams, and the talks with New York over Carmelo Anthony seem to be an ever-changing topic. The Cavaliers are looking for a cheap backup big, a quality player maker, or a backup point guard. While the latter is the most important, the Cavaliers have searched the market for all three.

With that said, it seems inevitable that the Cavaliers are going to trade with someone before the quickly approaching trade deadline on February 23rd at 3 PM EST. Keep that date in mind NBA fans.

The Cavaliers have pieces to give up. If they acquire a backup point guard, there is little value for Iman Shumpert once J.R. Smith comes back. They also have guys like Jordan McRae and the forgotten man in Turkey’s Cedi Osman. Osman would most likely find an easier path into the NBA if his right weren’t with the reigning championships.

All things considered, the Cavaliers won’t be in the market to make some blockbuster deal, but they could surely make a trade that will send ripples throughout the entire NBA, and now we will evaluate three potential trades.
