The Cleveland Cavaliers are actively shopping second-year shooting guard Dion Waiters according to ESPN sources.

It is understood that the Cavaliers have been in contact with the New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers, with the franchise targeting a potential trade deal involving Iman Shumpert, Luol Deng or Evan Turner.

Cleveland have reportedly contacted other clubs, but at this stage it is believed that the three aforementioned players are their priorities.

Waiters, 21, was drafted with the number four pick in 2012, but has reportedly struggled with relationships with his teammates and speculation had suggested that he requested a trade during a three-hour meeting last week with coach Mike Brown.
