If money wasn’t a part of the equation, which 2017 NBA free agents would the Cleveland Cavaliers see as dream additions this upcoming offseason?
Since the return of LeBron James, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been legitimate contenders for the NBA’s highest honor. With the way this team is built, that should continue to be the case for the foreseeable future. But how good could this team truly be?
What if the Cavaliers weren’t confined by the salary cap or luxury taxes? What if they had the money to acquire whichever 2017 free agents they saw as good fits for their needs? I know that sounds a lot like a fantasy world, but that’s what the type of scenario I’m trying to describe.
In this fantasy world, Cleveland could sign whoever they wanted without having too worry about financial restraints. Plus, it’s not like they’d need to go out and grab another superstar–they’ve already got plenty of their own. The problem for the Cavaliers right now is the lack of depth, and lack of financial flexibility to add said depth.
So let’s take a trip to a place where dreams come true and look at a few 2017 NBA free agents who Cleveland would love to sign this offseason. They may not be the biggest names available, but they’d certainly help round out what is already an impressive roster.
