NBA Trade Rumors: 3 players that will stay with the Cleveland Cavaliers

#2 Jordan Clarkson

Cleveland Cavaliers v Los Angeles Lakers

Jordan Clarkson was not heavily recruited out of college, and in the 2014 NBA draft, Clarkson was selected by the Washington Wizards with the 46th overall pick. The guard was immediately traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, although after three and a half successful years with the team, Clarkson was surprisingly traded to the Cavs last February.

Clarkson initially struggled to get minutes in Cleveland, although since LeBron left in the summer, the 26-year-old has excelled, averaging 16.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game. Clarkson's performances have made him the target of trade rumors, although the former Lakers man is still locked into a well-paid contract until 2020.

While there will be interest in Clarkson, the Cavs are more likely to move on players with expiring contracts such as Alec Burks and Rodney Hood, and just like his former Lakers teammate Nance Jr., Clarkson is likely to stick around until the summer.
