The Cleveland Cavaliers appear to love Caris LeVert. That isn’t meant to be a slight by any means, but an honest appraisal of the situation. They traded real draft capital last February to add him and gave him the first crack at a starting job. He is quite commonly closing games at the 3.
The Cavs aren’t the only team to like him, either. The Indiana Pacers traded for him in 2021 and seemingly moved him only because they were heading for a rebuild (Tyrese Haliburton said ‘no thank you’ to that plan). The Cavs outbid multiple teams, including the New York Knicks, to trade for him.
NBA teams will come calling for Caris Levert – who will have the best offer?
It will therefore come as no surprise that there is interest in Caris LeVert ahead of this year’s Trade Deadline. LeVert is a big guard at 6’6″ who is not a doormat on defense, which makes him a solid option to pair with a smaller guard in the backcourt. LeVert isn’t an elite creator but he’s pretty good, and whether he starts or comes off the bench he has a lot to offer in the right situation.
Which teams could come calling? Let’s highlight three teams that could make trade offers for Caris LeVert. Would the Cavs say yes to any of them? Let’s take them one at a time and find out.
