The Cleveland Cavaliers are not done building their roster. With only twelve guaranteed contracts on the books (plus Sam Merrill’s non-guaranteed deal) the Cavs will at least add one player, and perhaps as many as three before the season begins.
They also sit just $2.7 million below the luxury tax threshold, and with the team’s salary likely to get more expensive in the coming years with Evan Mobley and Donovan Mitchell up for new contracts, the team probably wants to stay out of the tax and delay the clock starting on the repeater tax.
