Is the Cavs’ current roster enough to reach the Eastern Conference finals — or do they need a trade?

from Wine and Gold Talk Podcast · host cleveland.com - Advance Local

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor dig into whether the Cleveland Cavaliers need to make a substantial trade to reach the Eastern Conference finals. The conversation centers on why the front office is expected to stand pat ahead of the trade deadline, the internal belief in the Core Four, and how difficult it has been to find deals that would clearly elevate the team. Sands and Fedor explore the complications surrounding potential moves involving Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen, walk through intriguing hypothetical scenarios — including Jrue Holiday and a Kyrie Irving reunion — and explain why any true roster-altering decision is more likely to come in the offseason.
