NBA Trade Rumors: Breaking down five potential trades that could help fix the Cleveland Cavaliers, or at least give them a shot at a championship

We know the story.

LeBron James is mad at the Cleveland Cavaliers because for the past few months they’ve done some tremendously terrible moves, starting with the decision to trade Kyrie Irving to their biggest threat in the East.

Failing to land Paul George and/or Eric Bledsoe during the summer didn’t help any either. Now, acknowledging that Isaiah Thomas looks nothing like his former all-star self, the Cavs are in big trouble. And they’re scrambling to improve the roster as the NBA trade deadline quickly approaches.

But, who could the Cavs add in the next couple weeks that could vastly change the outlook on this team’s roster? It’s difficult to find players that would do that, but there’s no question room for improvement.

Here are five trades that the Cleveland Cavaliers could make that will fix the team’s roster, or will at the very least give them a shot in the NBA Finals.
