The Cleveland Cavaliers are reportedly lining up a trade move for Brooklyn Nets forward Joe Johnson.

The Cavaliers are in the market for a forward to boost their offense in the 2015-16 campaign after they fell narrowly short of the NBA Championship last season.

David Blatt's men will offer centre Brendan Haywood, whose contract is trade friendly, to the Nets in an attempt to acquire the 34-year-old, but could also face competition from the Memphis Grizzlies for his signature, reports ESPN.

Johnson averaged 14.4 points per game last season.
