The Cleveland Cavs thought they had found a big man to build their future around when they trade for Luol Deng earlier this season.
However, according to Zach Harper of CBS Sports and several other NBA sources, we may have already seen the last of Luol Deng in a Cleveland uniform:
He's out with a free agency RT @GwashburnGlobe: No Luol Deng for #cavaliers tonight vs #celtics

The Cleveland Cavs superstar has been noticeably unhappy in his time with the team, with photos circulating the internet constantly with Luol Deng exhibiting a scowl at the goings-on of the current incarnation of the Cavs.
With Luol Deng out, it is possible that the Cleveland Cavs will use the free agent market to bring in another big man at a reduced-price, rather than attaching any hopes to the slim possibility that Deng will be willing to return.
