NBA trade candidate: Larry Nance Jr., Cleveland Cavaliers
Trade confidence meter: 5/10
Larry Nance Jr. is another Cavalier that could find himself on the move. He’s a little more of what you want to see in the modern big. He has a good enough offensive game that will keep defenses honest and is one of the most athletic bigs in the league.
He doesn’t get much credit for it but he is a rim-running, defensive-minded player that has the ability to hit the occasional jump shot (he’s shooting 38 percent from 3 on the season). He’s young and could help any team looking to make the push for the playoffs.
After acquiring Jarrett Allen, it wouldn’t be surprising for Cleveland to try to sell some of their bigs ahead of the trade deadline.
Ideal destination: Phoenix Suns
