Brian Windhorst: 'Decent Chance' Cavaliers Will Trade Rodney Hood, Alec Burks

The Cleveland Cavaliers are reportedly open to making additional moves as they toil near the bottom of the Eastern Conference. 

According to ESPN.com's Brian Windhorst, there is a "decent chance" the Cavs will trade guards Rodney Hood and Alec Burks prior to this season's Feb. 7 deadline. Cleveland has already parted ways with Kyle Korver and George Hill in recent weeks.

Hood is in the midst of his second season with the Cavs after they acquired him from the Utah Jazz in a three-team deal last February that also included the Sacramento Kings.

In 26 games, Hood is averaging 12.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists while shooting 42.7 percent from the field and 36.9 percent from three-point range.

While Hood has struggled at times with the Cavs, there may be a market for the 2014 first-round pick after he averaged 14.7 points per game last season and 14.5 points per game in 2015-16 as a full-time starter.

Burks has appeared in seven games with the Cavs since they acquired him in the trade that sent Korver to the Jazz.

The 27-year-old was seeing limited action in Utah this season, but he is playing 29 minutes per game for the Cavaliers, averaging 12.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists.

Utah selected Burks with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft out of Colorado. While he averaged 13 points per game or better in three straight seasons from 2013-14 to 2015-16, his role decreased significantly in recent years.

There is little reason for the Cavs to keep Hood or Burks, as both are set to become unrestricted free agents during the offseason.

Trading Hood and Burks would also open up additional playing time for some younger players on the roster, including rookie guard Collin Sexton and small forward Cedi Osman.

With the Cavaliers sitting 14th in the Eastern Conference at 6-21, they figure to be major sellers heading toward the deadline.
