The Cleveland Cavaliers seem to fully understand that one of their most important keys to this offseason is the type of return they should be looking to receive for the favorable contract of J.R. Smith.
To refresh, Smith’s contract (per the last CBA) is the last of its kind in relation to his deal counting in a trade for its full worth of $15.68 million for the 2019-20, despite only having a guarantee of $3.87 million in compensation for next season (per Spotrac) if he is waived before June 30, as we’ve often emphasized.
