5 Players the Cleveland Cavaliers Could Be Looking to Target with Their Trade Exceptions

Markieff Morris of the Phoenix Suns

Following the trade of his brother Marcus, Markieff Morris expressed his displeasure with the Phoenix Suns. The four-year veteran could be an ideal target if he remains with the Suns and is unhappy with the status of the team’s direction.

Morris averaged 15.3 points and 6.2 rebounds per game last season in Phoenix. He would provide great depth and strength in the frontcourt, which is something the Cavs severely lacked as they made their most recent postseason run.

The Suns will have a hard time fighting for a playoff spot in the West, and they have been known to take advantage of salary dumps when the opportunity presents itself. This could make Morris a prime target for the Cavaliers around the trade deadline.
