While plenty of media outlets are speculating about a potential deal between Cleveland and Phoenix, the Cavs have now reportedly begun to explore the possibility of pulling off a trade with Washington.
The deal would essentially be a cost-cutting move for the Wizards, sending Antawn Jamison and filler Mike James to the Cavs for Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic.
Wallace seems likely to retire, and Pavlovic is on a non-guaranteed contract for next season.
It is not clear whether the Wizards would need to surrender the #5 pick. Jamison is attractive to the Cavs since he is exactly the type of combo forward they were missing to match up with Orlando’s Rashard Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu.
