With the way this Cavalier team has been built, there likely won’t be any improvements to the team unless it is through a trade. The reason is because the team is well past the luxury tax threshold and it should only get worse as Tristan Thompson is still likely to sign an extension sometime in the future worth around $14-$16 million.
Add in JR Smith’s potential return and this team will be looking at possibly the largest luxury tax bill in NBA history.
Basically, they will only be able to re-sign players they have the bird rights to.
