Cavaliers Rumors: Ricky Rubio Trade Eyed Ahead of 2024 NBA Deadline amid Hiatus

The Cleveland Cavaliers top priority appears to be moving the contract of point guard Ricky Rubio.

Cleveland is 15-12 and currently sits in sixth place in the Eastern Conference. While this is a pretty solid place to be in, injuries to Evan Mobley and Darius Garland cloud the immediate future.

This is a spot where Rubio could really help out, but he is also currently unavailable after announcing in August that he was pausing his career to focus on his mental health.

Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports reported that Cleveland would like to utilize his salary slot to improve the team, and solving that situation will precede any other additions.
