Stein says that Wall's time with the team is almost up and that the Clippers want to trade him before the 3 p.m. ET deadline. If there is no deal, Wall is likely to be bought out. He is averaging 11.4 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 5.2 apg, and 22.2 mpg this season.

The Cavs are reportedly interested in O'Neale
The trade of Kyrie Irving and the possible trade of Kevin Durant last night have made big changes to the Brooklyn Nets roster in just three days. That could mean that other Nets players are up for trade, and Cleveland could be interested in one of them. Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com says that the Cavs are interested in Royce O'Neale, a veteran 3-and-D player. The Nets' sixth-year player has started 51 games this season. He is averaging a career-high 9.4 points per game, 4.9 rebounds per game, and 4.0 assists per game. He is also making 40.3% of his 3-point shots.
