Will Cleveland make a splash?

The Cleveland Cavaliers are clearly struggling and could very much benefit from making a huge splash ahead of today’s NBA trade deadline. The big problem with that, however, is the fact that Cleveland doesn’t exactly have a ton of moveable assets.

The only potential asset that Cleveland has, that could make things interesting, is the 2018 unprotected Brooklyn Nets first-round pick. However, currently, Cleveland has pretty much said the pick is off limits.

Unless something has changed drastically, the Cavs aren’t expected to make a big splash on deadline day. But, that’s the beauty of the NBA trade deadline. You just never know.
