The Cleveland Cavaliers are actively shopping guard Dennis Schroder in trade talks to clear cap space for free-agent forwards Jonathan Kuminga and Peyton Watson, according to Cleveland.com's Chris Fedor. Schroder, who averaged 10.8 points and 4.9 assists over 70 games last season between Sacramento and Cleveland, carries a $14.81 million average salary on a three-year, $45 million deal signed in July 2025. The Hornets have previously expressed interest in Schroder, though no active trade package has been confirmed.
