The Cleveland Cavaliers have the best record in the NBA.
As such, it’s hard to think of a move that could get them over the top.
On the one hand, all teams can be improved, and the Cavaliers are no exception.
They do need to add another stopper at the wings, especially now that Dean Wade has suffered an injury that will have him sidelined indefinitely.
They could also look to shed some salary to get under the luxury tax.
On the other hand, they have a flawless chemistry that you don’t want to mess with right now.
That’s why it’s not particularly surprising to hear they might not make a move at the trade deadline.
Talking on ESPN Cleveland’s “The Really Big Show,” insider Brian Windhorst revealed that he hadn’t heard almost anything about the Cavs right now.

As things stand now, it seems like it’s highly unlikely that the Cavs will look to make a big move – if any move at all.
That makes sense.
As much as they could look to get better, they don’t have that many assets to part ways with.
And even though they have financial incentives to get rid of some players, they can’t afford to disrupt their rotation with the way they’ve played this season.
Kenny Atkinson’s team is deep, and the role players have been instrumental in their success so far.
Barring a major turn of events, the Cavs will most likely finish the season with this roster.
