It's becoming obvious this Cavalier won't be on the roster after the trade deadline

The Cleveland Cavaliers enter this season as favorites in the Eastern Conference, but as the league's only team above the second tax apron they have very little flexibility to improve the roster during the season. That could lead to Dean Wade being on the chopping block and off the roster by the Trade Deadline.

Everyone on the Cavaliers seems to love Dean Wade, but he is a polarizing player among fans. On the one hand, he is the quintessential role player: he defends, he shoots the basketball, he doesn't mind a small role and is a good locker room presence.
