Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com reported Sunday the Cleveland Cavaliers are looking to use their $4.4 million trade exception before it expires Monday.
Vardon also revealed the Cavs are still open to the slim possibility of trading for Carmelo Anthony.
The trade exception, left over from trading Anderson Varejao last season, is worth about $4.4 million. Anthony is a 12-time All-Star with a $24.6 million salary. So obviously one move would not be related to the other, and the way, way outside shot (we’re talking like, say a 93-footer) of acquiring Anthony in a deadline deal with the New York Knicks would be the much bigger transaction of the two.
