Hot starts for these Cavs trade targets could grease the skids

The Cleveland Cavaliers are rolling. They are riding a seven-game winning streak, weathering multiple injury absences and taking down all comers. They aren’t just an improved team from a year ago, but they look like a legitimate contender in the Eastern Conference.

Teams looking to win regular season games can paper over at least some of their weaknesses, but in the crucible of the playoffs, any weak spot in the rotation is targeted and attacked. The Cavs have to look at their roster and identify where they need to grow.

The Cleveland Cavaliers could look to the trade market to shore up their weaknesses. Which of these three hot-shooting wings could the Cavs trade for?

This team has an exceptional crop of point guards and some of the best bigs in the league, but they are stretching 2s and 4s to cover the small forward position. Caris LeVert and Dean Wade have done an excellent job, but the Cavs will likely look to the trade market to add another option at the 3.

While the trade deadline in February is still a ways away, some players on rebuilding teams might be playing so well that they are available at the right price now. Their teams don’t want to win too much, and these players will be near the top of the value. It just makes sense for them to be moved now rather than wait until later in the year.

With that in mind, here are three wings who have shot well to start the year and could be available to the Cavs.
