Hopefully this brings an end to the Patrick McCaw saga. The NBA has cleared the Cleveland Cavaliers of any wrongdoing in their pursuit of the former Golden State Warriors wing, meaning the drama is finally over.
NBA says it has completed its investigation into the Cavaliers’ signing and subsequent waiver of Patrick McCaw. Based on the specific facts and circumstances of this matter, the NBA found that there was no violation of the league’s CBA, including the anti-circumvention rules.
