Nance, 28, is one of the best players on the Cavaliers’ roster.
As a matter of fact, the team has been resistant to trading the big man in the past despite numerous others teams trying to pry him away. The Cavs reportedly would have needed a massive offer to part ways with Nance last season.
Yet, things seem to have quickly changed in Cleveland. The Cavs hold the No. 3 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.
Furthermore, the Cavs want to lock up rising star Jarrett Allen, who will likely command a ton of money this offseason.
Still, Nance is one of the better veterans in the league. The loyal forward has been a guiding voice during the organization’s tough rebuild. He averaged 9.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game last season.
