The Cleveland Cavaliers could receive a “significant” return if they decided to trade power forward Larry Nance Jr., according to Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer.
Nance is valued energy player, native of nearby Akron and the son of Cavs legend Larry Nance. So there is no sense that the Cavs are looking to move him.
He is also expected to miss four-to-six weeks following surgery on a broken finger. In other words, his presumed return will be right around the March 25 trade deadline.
“If the Cavs chose to shop Nance, they could receive a significant return for him because of Nance’s ability to fit into a wide number of offensive roles and defend multiple positions,” O’Connor wrote.
