The Cleveland Cavaliers will look to adjust their roster in the weeks ahead as the offseason continues.
But they don’t have a lot of spending power, so which direction will they take?
Writing for Bleacher Report, Greg Swartz listed three players the Cavaliers should target: Ty Jerome, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Larry Nance Jr.
“Despite being $13 million into the second apron already, the Cleveland Cavaliers need to invest in Ty Jerome. The Cavs can pay their sixth man up to $14.3 million per season on a new deal, whereas letting him walk would mean only being able to use the veteran minimum on his replacement. If the luxury tax penalties are deemed to be too great, Dinwiddie would be a cheaper option who averaged 11.0 points and 4.4 assists for the Dallas Mavericks on a minimum deal last season. A reunion with Nance as a third big behind Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley makes a lot of sense for both sides as well,” Swartz wrote.
After the strong season he just had, the Cavaliers definitely want to hold onto Jerome, but money is a huge factor.
He is eligible for a new contract and could find it with a number of other teams.
The Cavaliers would like to keep him, and he would like to remain in Cleveland, but can both sides come together and agree?
As for the two other men on this list, both would bring veteran experience and skill.
And, best of all, they wouldn’t be too expensive, which is vital for this cash-strapped Cavs team.
Nance has been with the Cavaliers before, and they had a good relationship with him, so they would likely welcome him back with open arms.
The Cavaliers have options, just not a lot of them.
