NBA trade rumors are always fascinating as they offer insight into what each teams are trying to form, of course, within the confines of their financial capabilities. With the Cavs winning their first-ever NBA championship title, it is very reasonable for the team to make adjustments into its roster should they want to keep the title this season.
Despite the Cavs' wide range of offensive firepower options, the team does not have a true big man to boost its game in the painted area. The rumor about the Cavs working it out to strike a deal with Josh Smith totally makes sense as he is considered a premier forward who is currently at the top of his game. According to iTech Post, Josh Smith is one of the most sought after forward in last year's preseason.
Right now, Smith has yet to make an official decision prior to the start of NBA training camp. One of the most talked about factors in Smith's decision to join a team is his chemistry towards his teammates.
One prominent speculation should Smith is acquired by the Cavs is that he will replace Timofey Mozgov who parted ways with the current champions for a $64 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. Smith is currently ranked as the fourth best player in the free agent roster.
