Return or Burn: How should the Cavaliers handle each free agent?

The 2022-23 Cleveland Cavaliers were not good enough to win a championship. They certainly won a lot of games, notching 51 victories to finish fourth in the Eastern Conference, but when they reached the playoffs they fell in just five games to the New York Knicks.
