News from inside NBA sources: Cavs ready to trade away most of their roster.

MITCH BLATT

The Cleveland Cavaliers have lost five straight (and 2-9 in the last 11), by an average of 22 points per game, including a 118-90 loss to Miami and a 129-95 loss to Minnesota, and Dan Gilbert is mad. Most of the team is on the trade block, and it wouldn’t be surprising if only two or three of the players from last season’s roster remain at the end of the season, a source in a scouting department says. One of the players that the Cavs might try to trade for is Andrew Igoudala. Anderson Varejao will probably bring good value for the Cavs in a trade, the source said.

“Every team has a star, someone who can score, whether they’re top level or not, but the Cavs don’t.”

Also, in the Miami game, there was not much contact with LeBron James or many hard fouls against him, the source noted.
