Cleveland Cavaliers

  • Key Players Added:
  • Key Players Lost: Matthew Delavedova, Timofey Mozgof
  • Key Players Re-signed:

The Cavs haven’t done much yet in the free agency, and maybe its the right move.  They’ll let the contract frenzy completely die off before they sign J.R. Smith.  LeBron, who will still be the best player in the NBA, said he will resign will the Cavs.  His salary will be around $30 million per year.  Mo Williams and Richard Jefferson (If he doesn’t retire) will likely sign for the vet minimum, which would be a smart play for Cleveland.
