Report: Kings interested in Cavs' Shumpert

Keep track of all the deals going down and rumors percolating on trade deadline day with theScore's NBA trade tracker.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Sacramento Kings each possess something the other wants.

Sacramento is hoping to bring Cleveland's Iman Shumpert into the fold, but would have to part with a couple of its own rotation players, sources told the Sacramento Bee's Jason Jones.

With Marco Belinelli already in Kings purple, there is less need for more shooting and more need for perimeter defense, something Shumpert can provide.

The Cavs, on the other hand, do desire more shooting and are reportedly considering Kings guard Ben McLemore, according to Jones. They are also setting their sights on Kosta Koufos in order to strengthen their front line. Both players were linked to the Cavs earlier in the month.
