The Cleveland Cavaliers enter free agency with a couple of clear mandates in place. They want to add pieces good enough to push for the play-in game, without mortgaging their financial future or taking the ball out of their young players’ hands. Can the Cavs accomplish that?
It starts with restricted free agent center Jarrett Allen, but the team has a few other spots to fill and somewhat limited team-building tools with which to do that. They need at least one backup on the wing and a backup center.
