The Cavaliers were once regarded as Durant s "wild card suitor" but the former is just a way to explore

According to previous famous reporter Shams, Kevin Durant was traded to the Rockets by the Suns for Jaylen Green, Dillon, the 2025 Rockets No. 10 pick and the next five second rounds. Before the deal was concluded, several teams tried to participate in the negotiations. According to famous reporter Shams, the Cavaliers are also among them and are called "wild card suitors."

According to Hoops Wire reporter Sam Amico, the participation of the Knight is more of a "path-exploring" contact, rather than really trying to advance.

Nevertheless, Cavaliers President Altman has been actively looking for ways to improve the roster (and perhaps relieve some salary pressure) in preparation for the upcoming NBA draft. The Cavaliers have two draft picks in the second round of the draft Thursday local time and are likely to use those two draft picks for trade. Rumors say the Cavaliers have explored a deal involving Ocorro and Dean Wade. However, it seems that these negotiations have not made much progress.

Sam Amico believes that the Durant Cavaliers have never really been involved in it, but it is normal to ask, which is exactly what Altman always wants to take a team with the best regular season record in the East (64-18) to the next level.
