2 trades the Cavs could consider making in the 2022-23 season

The Cleveland Cavaliers have shown signs of stardom this season. Unfortunately, they are currently amid a 4-game losing streak. This losing streak may be due to injury and needed time for Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland to gel in the backcourt. The starting lineup has been shaky with Garland, Mitchell, Caris LeVert, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen. The bench has been great with Kevin Love, Dean Wade, and Cedi Osman.

The Cavs can still improve this season, but in order for the Cavs to become a bigger contender, they need to bring on a little more talent. Depth and defense are key to winning a championship. The Golden State Warriors proved that last season, and the Cavaliers might have the pieces to make a deal before or at the deadline.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are much improved this season. What trades can the Cavs pursue to push them even closer to contending in the NBA?

This season has been very strange when it comes to the standings. Many teams like the LA Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, and Warriors have struggled to get wins this season while teams like the Utah Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers have looked good. With this being said, some teams may be open to making trades, and I believe that the Cavs should jump on that opportunity.

There are two trades that I believe the Cavs should consider. These trades will not involve any players from the Cavs’ starting lineup, for clarification.

Now, I know that there have been rumors that the Cavaliers should go after Phoenix Suns wing Jae Crowder, but these trades do not involve him. Now let’s begin with the first team as a potential trade partner, the 76ers.
