Cavs Rumors: The Cleveland Cavaliers are interested in a trade for Denver Nuggets point guard Jameer Nelson.
Another day, more Cavs rumors, this time involving Denver Nuggets point guard Jameer Nelson.
The longtime Orlando Magic point guard has had a busy season, already changing teams twice and could be in line for a third new zip code if the Cleveland Cavaliers get their way. That’s because LeBron James‘ Cavs are said to be seeking a trade for Jameer Nelson according to ESPN.
They’ve been offering around Brendan Haywood, who has a unique contract that could make him a trade asset next summer because he has a $10 million non-guaranteed deal perfect for flipping. One player they’ve targeted is the Denver Nuggets’ veteran, Jameer Nelson, who has already been traded twice this season.
Of course, the Denver Nuggets have little reason to keep Jameer Nelson on their roster once the trade deadline passes, so that should make the price relatively minimal. It also gives the Cavs a chance to possibly acquire Nelson as a free agent if he was to be released after the deadline, though that might be looking into the future too much.
Regardless, it’s clear Cleveland is looking for another veteran presence on the roster and the Cavs rumors aren’t going to stop until a few weeks after the deadline.
