Cavaliers Prepare for Possible 2-for-1 Trade

The Cleveland Cavaliers, currently leading the NBA with a 24-4 record, are contemplating a roster adjustment ahead of the trade deadline. Reports suggest they are exploring 2-for-1 trade options to alleviate a roster logjam and potentially lower their payroll beneath the luxury tax threshold. Key candidates for trade include Max Strus, who recently returned from injury, and other bench players like Georges Niang and Dean Wade. Despite their success, the Cavs' depth could become a complicating factor as they welcome back injured players, making a trade beneficial for both performance and financial flexibility. Potential targets for acquisition include Brooklyn Nets forward Cam Johnson, known for his scoring and defense, although securing him could require additional compensation. As trade season heats up, the Cavaliers' decisions could significantly impact the market dynamics leading up to the February deadline.
