Cavs sign former second-round pick

The Cleveland Cavaliers are in a tough salary cap position. Because they’re hard-capped at the first apron after completing the sign-and-trade for Peyton Watson, they needed to sign someone with zero years of NBA experience to remain under that threshold.

Cavs Trade Grade: Cleveland finally has their answer at small forward

It’s been a frustrating off-season for the Cleveland Cavaliers — or perhaps it was.
