The Cleveland Cavaliers' mediocre season screams for action before the Feb. 5 trade deadline, but that doesn't mean it'll happen. NBA insider Jake Fischer's latest intel on Cleveland (from Jan. 13) suggested that the Cavs are planning to take a wait-and-see approach right up to the eleventh hour.

Fischer's reporting corroborates other indications that Cleveland's front office still has faith in the team's core four to return to some semblance of its 2024-25 form.
