Cleveland Cavaliers
It should be no surprise to see the Cleveland Cavaliers on this list. This is a team that has already been linked to Tim Hardaway Jr. and one that is looking to make a move ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline in an attempt to take another step forward in the Eastern Conference. If the Cavs wanted to swap Caris LeVert out for another similar type of player, perhaps Hardaway would make some sense.
I’m not saying that Hardaway would be the ideal replacement for LeVert in the team’s rotation, but they clearly have seen something that they believe they could build on with him. And who am I to second-guess the front office that has built a budding monster in Cleveland?
At this point, it seems as if the Cavs are going to do everything in their power to make a move at the deadline. And there’s at least a non-zero chance that the move ends up being for Hardaway Jr. Maybe it works out?
