When Mailk Beasley's off-court issues were quickly disappearing, Cleveland Cavaliers fans began dreaming of bolstering the roster with a real difference-maker late into the offseason. Unfortunately for those fans, the Cavaliers' financial limitations are dashing hopes once more.
Beasley was set to be available at a fraction of the actual price that a contract for a player of his talents should demand. Michael Scotto even reported the Cavaliers had checked in on the veteran sharpshooter. The injury to Max Strus made the move much easier to justify too.
Jake Fischer was more than content with tempering expectations in Cleveland.
