King James Gossip Ep. 5: What, if any, player is worth the Brooklyn Nets’ pick?
If the Cleveland Cavaliers are going to make a trade, who should they trade for?
The general consensus from just about every major sports outlet is that the Cleveland Cavaliers will be making some type of trade before the trade deadline on February 8. The other general consensus is that this trade must make them compete with Golden State.
In the most recent episode of King James Gossip, a podcast hosted by King James Gospel, we take a nosedive into who the Cavs should trade the Nets’ pick for. The main question centers around if DeAndre Jordan, the supposed No. 1 target for Cleveland, is even worth the Nets’ first-round pick.
However, before we get into that, we start with a recap of this past week. The Cavs went 0-3 with disheartening losses in all three games.
That said, here’s the entire rundown of episode five:

The Cavaliers are now sitting third in the Eastern Conference, and they are slumping. There are an array of ways this next three weeks could go for the Wine and Gold, and the return of last season’s Isaiah Thomas, the one that averaged over 25 points per game, is at the top of the list.
