NBA free agency is here, and the Cleveland Cavaliers haven't made any moves. That's not because they're too busy celebrating their championship, but because of a lack of cap space. The Cavs have only the mid-level exemption to work with plus veteran minimum deals. With that in mind, here are all the latest Cavs rumors and news you need to know.
Cavs Want Jamal Crawford?
Jamal Crawford likely won't sign until after Kevin Durant makes his decision, but he's drawing plenty of interest. The Cavs are one team after him.
#Cavs would like to add free agent G Jamal Crawford, and feeling is mutual, per sources. But making it work money-wise another matter.

Crawford would be a major boost off the bench, but the money will be an issue. Crawford will be able to get much more from another team. The Cavs are a long-shot at best.
Tyronn Lue Working On Extension
It's time for Lue to get paid. He's working on a contract extension with the Cavs, reports the Cleveland Plain Dealer. And he should get a hefty raise. He was offered a three-year, $9.5 million deal after taking over for David Blatt, but never signed it. Lue bet on himself and it's about to pay off in a big way. His new deal could approach $9.5 million per year with the Cavs.
Delly Gone?
The Bucks offered Matthew Dellavedova a four-year, $38 million deal, but the Cavs aren't likely to match.
Buckshad some sign-and-trade discussions with Cavs on Dellavedova but there's no traction as yet. Bucks are not expecting a match.

It's simply too much money for a player who hardly played in the NBA Finals. Dellavedova was a fan favorite, but it'd be a major surprise if the Cavs kept him.
