The Cleveland Cavaliers will likely be really busy this offseason. They have five players whose contracts are going to expiring after the 2019-20 season, and as we’ve discussed, they have a player currently on their salary cap sheet that should have trade value in the next two or so months in J.R. Smith.
General manager Koby Altman addressed that situation in an end-of-season press conference on Friday, and noted how (according to Sam Amico of Amico Hoops’ league sources), he has “already received some trade calls about Smith.”
We’ve hit on the details surrounding Smith’s contract often, and it’s the reason why he should be a nice trade asset for Altman and company likely around the time of the 2019 NBA Draft in late June.
