All of this lines up quite nicely, and according to Jake Fischer, the Cavaliers and Hornets have indeed held preliminary conversations about a Ball trade that would help Cleveland get below the second apron before Thursday's deadline.

The Cavs could end up being a likely trade destination for Giannis Antetokounmpo if they make Evan Mobley available.

NBA rumors reveal the Cleveland Cavaliers have discussed a potential Anthony Davis trade with the Dallas Mavericks ahead of the deadline.

Superstar guard James Harden reportedly expressed interest in returning to the Houston Rockets before the Los Angeles Clippers traded him to the Cleveland Cavaliers this week.
