The Cleveland Cavaliers struck while the iron was hot, beating out the New York Knicks and other suitors to add Caris LeVert this past weekend. We have covered that trade from every possible angle, from expectations to analysis to grades.

Adding LeVert solves one of their biggest needs, a perimeter creator with enough size to start alongside Darius Garland in the backcourt. It also meant using up their best matching salary and their best draft assets. Does that mean the Cavs are done?

The Cavs pulled the trigger on a trade for Caris LeVert. Are there moves this team could still make before the NBA Trade Deadline?

It doesn’t have to. The Cavs have a little breathing room under the luxury tax and could still bolster their bench. With the news that Kevin Pangos may be leaving to return to playing overseas the Cavs have an open roster spot that they can fill.

They could also go for something bigger, trading one of their more important players to take a larger swing. That isn’t likely, but if the Cavs are doing their due diligence they are at least considering what a larger deal would look like. Let’s explore three different options that represent three different kinds of trades the team could still make before the deadline.
