CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Alec Burks slipped on his Cleveland Cavaliers shorts and then put pants over them. Shortly after, he left the locker room, walked down the hallway with a few confidants by his side and eventually got into his car. It could be the last time he drives away from Quicken Loans Arena.
While the Cavs were going back and forth with the surging Boston Celtics on Tuesday night, members of Cleveland's front office were bunkered in working to find deals.
The trade deadline is getting closer and the Cavaliers are running short on candidates. Kyle Korver and George Hill, two of the team's most attractive veterans heading into the season, have already been shipped out.
