Marreese Speights has done himself well after being acquired by the Cleveland Cavaliers. In fact, he's done so well that he might have earned himself a bigger contract than his $4.5 million player option that he can pick up following the 2012-13 season.
And that is why the Cavs might be willing to shop the 25-year-old forward. Though the rumor-mill has not had much chatter regarding Cleveland other than the talk of LeBron James' return to the Cavs come the summer of 2014, Marc Stein of ESPN reported a few weeks back that Cleveland was looking to shed some salaries. Speights could be one of them, especially if the team believes he'll become a free agent. Cleveland would attempt to ship off one or both of Omri Casspi and Daniel Gibson in a trade involving Speights. http://cleveland.sbnation.com/cleveland-cavaliers/2013/2/18/4001338/cleveland-cavaliers-trade-rumors-2013-deadline-nba?utm_campaign=snsanalytics&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=twitter.comDefinitely would like the c's to get speights if possible, very good offense and solid rebounding for relatively cheap. |

Would like to add him as well but what would we be able to offer for him? The Cavs seem to be looking for young cheap talent or probably a first round pick. Neither of what we should be giving up for Speights. They wont want the salary of Bass.

I mean if its a pure salary dump then we could look at something like this. http://espn.go.com/nba/trademachine?tradeId=agt5h77Boston trades: Bass and a second round pick Boston gets: Speights and Casspi Cleveland Trades: Speights and Casspi Gets: Wesely Johnson (4 mil expiring) and draft pick Phoenix Trades: Johnson Gets: Bass Cavs dump 6 mil off next years books and get a draft pick. Suns use some of their cap room to insert a veteran in Bass. Boston gets a young big man and cap relief from Casspi next season. But if Speights option doesnt kick in he might want a bigger contract. |

Only guy it would make sense to trade for Speights is Bass. And Cleveland (like the rest of the league) is not trading a friendly deal for Bass.
Can't trade Terry or Lee for him -- not enough guard depth to justify a marginal pick-up like Speights.

From the story it sounded like the reason they would move Speights is because he might opt out. That would suggest they don't value an expiring much. |

If they want cap space for the summer of 2014, they don't want to a situation where he declines his option and they have to choose between giving him a long-term deal that decreases their future cap space or losing him for nothing. |

He is in my book. He's taller a better rebounder and plays the low post offensively. From what I know he's not great defensively, but Bass was thought as a poor defender before he came here as well. |

But then we'd need another PF to stretch the floor. Not Green though |
