Will the Cleveland Cavaliers be BUYERS or SELLERS at the NBA’s Trade Deadline?

The NBA trade deadline will loom large for the next couple of weeks and some have already tagged one member of the Cleveland Cavaliers being trade bait.

Guard Lonzo Ball has been mentioned as a possible trade chip. However, we’ll have to wait and see if the Cavs do anything at all or simply opt to stand pat without making any deals.

Cavs fans may argue against the latter option, given the team’s lackluster 25-20 record (No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference). They need to do something (ANYTHING!!!) to turn it around. That’s the expectation you set when a team wins more than 60 games in a season as the Cavs did a year ago. | https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/pro/cavs/2026/01/22/cavs-nba-trade-deadline-news/88305149007/
