Trade rumors: De'Andre Hunter, Darius Garland, and more included in talks

With a recent slump in play and constant injury issues, the Cleveland Cavaliers have dropped eight of their last 13 games.

Four of Cleveland's five consistent starters have or are going to miss significant time of their own. Darius Garland hasn't looked like an All-Star player so far this season, Jarrett Allen's hands have been taking a beating, and now Evan Mobley will be sitting out with one of the NBA's most popular injuries this season, a calf strain.

Currently sitting at 15-13, Cleveland is the current No. 8 seed in the East. Disappointment has been a reasonable label for the team lately, and this could spark some moves being made via trade.

Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen, and De'Andre among players that teams 'would ask about'

Senior NBA insider Shams Charania noted that the only Cavs players that are "off the table" in trade talks are Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley.

"Everyone else, though, is at least being discussed," wrote Sam Amico of Hoops Wire.

Calls have been coming in, and although Cleveland would love to see their top four players (Garland, Allen, Mitchell, and Mobley) in action this season, injuries have kept this from happening at a consistent rate.

Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen, and De'Andre Hunter are the names being brought up, but if Cleveland finds some momentum, trade talks in Cleveland could drain out.

As of now, a small sense of panic has crept into the organization, and stability is what the Cavaliers will be seeking.
