Cavs Considering Three-Team Trade To Land Malik BeasleyCavs Considering Three-Team Trade To Land Malik Beasley
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been looking to add another wing shooter to their rotation all season. That pursuit has the Cavs considering a three-team trade with the Atlanta Hawks and Utah Jazz.
In the rumored construction, Cleveland would land Malik Beasley from Utah. The Jazz would acquire John Collins, who they’ve had rumored interest in for months. The Hawks would likely acquire players from both Cleveland and Utah, with Caris LeVert potentially included in a deal.
Beasley has averaged 13.8 points and 3.5 rebounds in 46 games off the Jazz bench. The seventh-year guard has shot 40% from the field, and 36% from behind the arc.
On potential holdup for Utah is taking on the remainder of Collins’ contract. The Jazz have asked the Hawks for draft compensation for taking on the $102 million that Collins is owed through 2025-26.
Clippers Interested In Trade For Mike ConleyClippers Interested In Trade For Mike Conley
The LA Clippers are going to be without backup point guard John Wall for at least two weeks. Wall has an abdominal strain that will keep him out of action for the Clippers, who are battling to stay out of the Western Conference Play-In Tournament.
Wall’s absence, and overall concerns about their point guard depth, has LA interested in trading for Mike Conley of the Utah Jazz. After a great start to the season, the Jazz have slipped to 10th in the West, and are on the precipice of missing the postseason. That has some believing Utah could look to move some veterans at the trade deadline.
In his 16th NBA season, Conley’s play has started to slip. He’s averaging 10.2 points, which is his lowest figure since his rookie season. Conley is also shooting just 38% from the field. On the flip side, the veteran point guard is averaging a career-high 7.5 assists per game.
