The Cleveland Cavaliers reportedly want to make some big moves ahead of the NBA trade deadline.
According to Marc Stein of the New York Times, the Cavaliers are hoping to make deals for both Clippers center DeAndre Jordan and Kings guard George Hill, though it is unclear if they would have the assets to acquire both.

It remains to be seen if the Cavs have the assets to acquire one or both of their top targets, but league sources say they are in active pursuit of both. @ShamsCharania first reported Cleveland’s interest in Hill.

Stein also adds that the Clippers’ Lou Williams is another potential trade target.

Cleveland’s interest in Jordan is not new. We also heard about their pursuit of Hill earlier in the day.
Cleveland sits at 27-17, a disappointing third in the East. With LeBron James’s free agency coming up, they probably want to show that they remain serious about maintaining their stranglehold on the East and dethroning the Golden State Warriors. All the same, this sounds like it will be easier said than done.
