The Cleveland Cavaliers were rumored to be interested in restricted free agent Norris Cole, who is no longer on the market.
There were rumblings — mostly unfounded — that the Cavaliers might maybe possibly be interested in Norris Cole and his services. There’s the LeBron James connection and the Rich Paul connection that further fueled this speculation, but appears to be all for naught.
One of the reasons that the Cavaliers were looking at Cole, or one of the reasons that it made sense for them to do so anyways, stemmed from his restricted free agent status with the New Orleans Pelicans and the fact that said situation was unresolved.
