What happened: Dennis Schroder has been identified as the Cleveland Cavaliers player most likely to be moved before the NBA Draft. The veteran guard's name has surfaced as the front office weighs roster adjustments heading into the offseason.

Why it matters: The speculation arrives with Cleveland reassessing its core after a Conference Finals exit, and a backcourt move could open salary flexibility and a rotation spot. Trading Schroder before the draft would let the Cavaliers recoup value while reshaping their guard depth for the 2026-27 season.

What to watch: Watch whether Cleveland finds a taker before the NBA Draft, and what the Cavaliers target in return.
