Cleveland Cavaliers looking for wing help ahead of trade deadline
Ahead of the February 9 trade deadline, the Cleveland Cavaliers are reportedly gunning for two-way wing players to join their team.
In general, two-way wingers are in high demand across the league right now. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, their ongoing quest for more power at the three has not been subtle.

The Wizards have enjoyed a five-game win streak of late after a tough start to the season. Losing one of their most important players when their momentum's finally turning around would be a dire prospect.
For betters, this could well greatly enhance the Cavaliers' chances in the future should such a trade be pulled off. On the other end of the court, losing Kuzma would be yet another setback for the Wizards who are just
