CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Cavaliers opened a roster spot on Sunday afternoon, choosing to waive DeAndre Liggins just days before the start of the postseason.
The Cavs plan on signing one of the many playoff-eligible guys by Wednesday's deadline. But there are a few different questions the front office needs to answer first.
Will they opt for a big man, understanding that Larry Sanders, who has spent most of his time in the D-League since being signed by the Cavs in the middle of March, is a long way from helping? To make things more difficult, starting center Tristan Thompson remains sidelined with a sprained right thumb, which has forced Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue to lean on smaller lineups that feature either Kevin Love or LeBron James at center.
