Recently, according to NBA famous reporter Brian Windhorst, talking about the Cavaliers on ESPN Cleveland Channel.

Brian Windhorst said: "There are indeed some conversations involving Ocorro and Dean Wade. To be honest, I don't see any team eager to get Ocorro. Maybe if a team is frustrated in the draft or free agent market and turn to a wing player with defense as the core... that might be going to be a move next week. But I'm not sure he will be the top target for a team's trade."

Brian Windhorst continued: "I think the Cavaliers will continue to look for situations and opportunities. To be clear, I don't mean they are trying to send Ocorro away. I think they are just weighing it - if we can save money through this deal and keep Jerome, should we do that? Are we at risk of losing Jerome to keep this player? That's the logic of the league system designed to force high-paying teams to lose talent... Frankly speaking, one of the reasons why the Cavaliers got Jerome was that the Warriors were extremely paying for the Warriors at the time, and they couldn't even afford the contracts offered by the Cavaliers that were slightly higher than the base salary."
