Famous reporter: The Cavaliers are actively participating in the trading, and only Mitchell and Mobley are not traded in the formation

Recently, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst, the Cleveland Cavaliers are actively participating in trade negotiations.

Winderhorst said: "In the playoffs this season, the Cavaliers lost to the Indiana Pacers in the second round. The team has not advanced to the second round since the Jazz trade to Mitchell in 2022, which has brought the team into the idea of ​​a trade."

In addition, according to sources, only Mitchell and Mobley are not traded in the Cavaliers.

It is worth mentioning that after Mobley won the best defensive player of the season, he triggered a clause in his contract. In this clause, he can increase his first-year salary for a rookie contract renewal from 25% of the salary cap to 30%.

In this case, the Cavaliers' total salary next season is $219 million, surpassing the second luxury line. Jerome and Merrill became free agents after the end of this season, so Garland and Allen are very likely to be the targets for the team to clear their salaries.
