The Cleveland Cavaliers are exploring a trade for Lonzo Ball to move his expiring contract, which could be another roster move alongside their ongoing talks with the Los Angeles Lakers for De'Andre Hunter.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are exploring options to trade veteran guard Lonzo Ball ahead of the February 5 deadline, according to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.
The team is looking to move expiring contracts to get below the second luxury-tax apron.
Meanwhile, the Cavaliers are making progress in talks with the Los Angeles Lakers regarding forward De'Andre Hunter.
The two teams are reportedly discussing a trade that would send Rui Hachimura and Dalton Knecht to Cleveland in exchange for Hunter, with a possible third team involved.
As for Ball, the 28-year-old is on a two-year, $20 million contract after being acquired last offseason.
Offensively, he has struggled, averaging just 4.7 points on 30.7% shooting (27.5% from three) in 20.8 minutes per game.
