The Cleveland Cavaliers are off to a solid start this NBA season, jumping out to a 8-5 start. However, injuries have arisen that could push the team to make some changes to their roster.
Starting guard Collin Sexton will be sidelined for the foreseeable future with a torn meniscus. No timetable has been released yet for his recovery, but the team will be without him for multiple weeks at the bare minimum.
With him sidelined, Ricky Rubio will step into a bigger role in the backcourt. If the injury keeps him out long-term, they could look outside the organization to add some depth. Trade is one option that could be on the table, and if that is the case, one player that could be on the move is Cedi Osman.
Osman is in the second year of a four-year deal that pays him a total of $31.1 million. He was one of the players that the Cavaliers reportedly considered dealing this offseason. The team ended up trading Taurean Prince and Larry Nance Jr. but could be open to making more deals now during the season.

Osman is a solid wing, averaging 9.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 20.4 minutes per game. With Isaac Okoro and Dylan Windler available on the wing, in addition to Lauri Markkanen eventually returning, the Cavaliers have plenty of depth should they look to move Osman.
If he is made available again, here are three teams that should look into trading for Osman.
