Trade Rumor: Cleveland Cavaliers Showing Interest in Utah Jazz’s Derrick Favors

It’s that time of the year, folks. The NBA trade deadline is only a few weeks away, and the conventional wisdom is that the Jazz will be sellers. We’ve covered quite a few rumors on the Dunk—most of them revolving around Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic—but we’ve got a newer one today:
