Cleveland Cavaliers' gamble on Patrick McCaw pays off; Warriors don't match offer sheet

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Golden State Warriors declined to match the Cleveland Cavaliers' offer sheet for restricted free agent Patrick McCaw.

Golden State needed to respond by 11:59 p.m. ET on Sunday night and chose to let the clock run out, giving the disgruntled third-year swingman what he seemingly wanted: a chance for a bigger role with another team.

A second-round pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, McCaw will take Cleveland's final roster spot, which has been open since the start of the season.

McCaw signed a two-year, $6 million offer sheet on Friday afternoon. According to sources, the deal is non-guaranteed and the Cavs won't have to make any decision on McCaw's immediate future with the team until Jan.
