The Cleveland Cavaliers are still celebrating their first NBA championship, but the front office has started looking toward free agency for ways they can improve. The Cavs likely won't make any big moves, and will do what they can to keep their core together. Here are all the latest Cavs rumors and news you need to know.
Richard Jefferson Not Retiring?
After winning the NBA title with the Cavs this year, Jefferson said he'd retire on top. But now, the 35-year-old appears to have changed his mind.

Jefferson is a free agent, and could leave the Cavs. However, Cleveland surely wants him back after he played a critical role in the NBA Finals. He signed the vet minimum last year, but could command a bigger contract if he leaves the Cavs.
Cavs Pick Up McRae's Option
The Cavaliers had until tomorrow to make a decision on Jordan McRae's one-year team option, but the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports they've already decided to pick it up. McRae is guaranteed just under $1 million this year, although he's not a lock for a roster spot. Signed in February, McRae showed some promise. The Tennessee product dropped 36 points in the season-finale when the starters were on the bench. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard could provide depth if someone like Matthew Dellavedova leaves this offseason.
