Jenneral Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert could see the value of his franchise drop drastically if LeBron James leaves as a free agent this summer. The New York Daily News, citing league executives, reports that the value of the team could drop as much as $150 million if James signs with another team. RealGM Ouch. That's a pretty big hit to a team/city when one player leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland's Finest Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Cavs can still pick up a big name with the money that would've been for James. All is not completely lost just yet. The Cavs have a good financial relation with some big Japanese company which was part of getting LeBron to stay, so that adds some stability. I still agree though, but it's not like if LeBron leaves the Cavs can't change their roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) Cavs have around 46 million committed in salary next season without Lebron James signed. That leaves around 8-9 million to work with. No they cannot get another big name, best you could hope for is maybe Rudy Gay.

Cleveland's Finest Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Ric Bucher said if the Cavs get Ray Allen and resign Bron they can definitely contend, mentioning Verajao's value also. A clutch jump shooter in Ray Allen would be a solid pickup. And we really don't need much more other than trading Delonte and contracts for Andre Miller to push the unclutch Mo to the bench.

I wouldn't get your hopes up on getting Ray and Bron. To be honest... I wouldn't expect either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
