Cleveland Cavaliers: 3 takeaways from the 2018 offseason

The Cleveland Cavaliers are not giving up even after losing LeBron James in free agency. Here are three takeaways from their 2018 offseason.

As we all know, LeBron James decided to take his talents to the Western Conference for the first time in his career and join the Los Angeles Lakers. The Cleveland Cavaliers, though, do not appear to be too worried about it, as they have not made any panic moves as the post-LeBron era begins in Cleveland.

The team from Ohio is over the salary cap even without LeBron’s max contract, which means that it was excluded from making any big moves during the 2018 NBA free agency. With players like George Hill, Tristan Thompson and J.R. Smith making a combined $52 million next season, the Cavs are not the most flexible team when it comes to finances.

As a result, we all knew that the Cleveland Cavaliers would be quiet this summer, but it came as a surprise to most fans that the team has not made any outside moves yet. Nevertheless, there are some pointers that need to be analyzed, despite the team not making any big moves. Here are three takeaways from the 2018 offseason.
