Cavaliers have perfect trade to save them from failing De'Andre Hunter experiment

If De'Andre Hunter wants to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers, one trade scenario could retool Cleveland's bench for the better.

The Cleveland Cavaliers seemed intent on staying silent at the coming trade deadline, but that decision may be out of their control.

De'Andre Hunter, the fourth-highest paid Cavalier this season, reportedly wants a trade just one year after joining the squad at the last trade deadline. Cleveland is sitting at seventh in the Eastern Conference with a 22-19 record, and Hunter's early Cavs tenure has been far less productive than what many expected from the 6-foot-8 athletic forward.
