A few hours before the market close, various trade rumors point to current components of the ‘roster’ like Ben Simmons, Jae Crowder, Joe Harris, Seth Curry or Royce O’Neale. The latter would have aroused the interest of a potential buyer in the last hours.
According to Cleveland.com journalist Chris Fedor, the Cavaliers have focused their attention on O’Neale in order to strengthen their outside game and thus address what had been management’s top priority for the ‘trade deadline’. In parallel, the Ohio franchise would also have noticed other interesting pieces such as Doug McDermott and Josh Richardson.
