Free agency in the NBA is set to get underway on July 1, with the Cleveland Cavaliers primarily looking to take care of things at home. That’s because only three players: Kyrie Irving, Anderson Varejao and Joe Harris are officially signed to play for the Cavaliers next season. Every other player is either an unrestricted/restricted free agent or is working under an option that allows them to opt out of their current deal.
Given the success the team has enjoyed, the camaraderie that was established and the willingness of Cavs owner Dan Gilbert to pay the luxury tax, there will likely be only a few spots available for either free agents or the team’s two selections in next week’s NBA Draft: the #24 and #53 selections.
