The Cleveland Cavaliers and Houston Rockets previously reportedly discussed a trade centered on Russell Westbrook.
It’s pretty clear to me that for the Cleveland Cavaliers next season/looking onward, internal growth should be their priority. The development of young pieces such as Collin Sexton, Darius Garland and Kevin Porter Jr. is essential for Cleveland in the near and long-term future.
The Cavs understand that, too, although Cleveland still having a piece such as Kevin Love shouldn’t be just traded away just for the sake of that.
