Jarrett Allen has looked in good knick this season for both the Nets and the Cavaliers, putting up 13 points, 10 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game. He has been incredibly efficient in the paint on the offensive end, making 64% of his shots from the field as well.

NBA rumors suggest that the Cleveland Cavaliers have been looking for their frontcourt players for some time now, with the trio of Andre Drummond, Kevin Love and Javale McGee on the trade block.

However, parting ways with Jarrett Allen in the off-season would come across as a strange move, considering recent reports had mentioned the Cavs offering him a $100 million extension in the summer.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have struggled badly in ongoing campaign, managing a dismal record of 16-26, which has them in 12th place in the Eastern Conference . They have won just two of their last seven games and look headed towards the lottery.

The Cavaliers front office looks committed to building for the future by clearing deadwood. But releasing Jarett Allen in the off-season may not be a step in the right direction.
