Dean Wade Rumors

Chris Fedor: So I checked in with one source yesterday, and they classified the Cavs' potential of trading Dean as 50/50 at this point—a complete and utter toss-up." "And it's just based on, like I said, the kinds of offers that the Cavs could get for him and whether they deem those as worthy to say yes to. But there is definitely interest in Dean, and I think there are teams around the NBA that value all the same things that the Cavs value with him."

It’s worth noting there was plenty of chatter in the desert about defense-first forward Dean Wade possibly being moved. An unrestricted free agent following the season, the current belief is Wade likely wouldn’t return, with cap-strapped Cleveland being unable to afford him. So, do the Cavs try to get something of value now before he potentially departs? Sources say numerous contenders from each conference have expressed interest. The Dallas Mavericks have been fans for a few years, and a former Cleveland assistant is part of the coaching staff.

From everything that I've heard the Cavs have had discussions about Dean Wade and do they want to see if they they can use him and something else to see if they can get assets back, different kinds of assets back, or different kinds of players back in return? So I think they're trying to figure out what is possible for us. And if we move off of Isaac Okoro’s money if we move off Dean Wade's money, does that make it easier to justify a Ty Jerome contract? Does that make it easier to justify a Sam Merrill contract?

Allen was reluctant to discuss his injury when he was approached in the locker room following the game. The affable Allen, who did not have a wrap on his hand, did offer that he may have gotten hurt while trying to block a shot in the first quarter. "He's fine," chimed in All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell, who scored 27 points in 26 minutes. Allen's injury comes just as the East-leading Cavs were getting back to full strength. Forward Dean Wade returned against the Knicks after missing several weeks with a bone bruise in his knee, and forward Isaac Okoro came back Thursday after being sidelined since Jan. 16 with a shoulder strain.
