Joe Vardon: Count the Cavs in that group. Cleveland has one or two roster moves to make to be able to pay LeBron James $15 million next season instead — unloading Strus and Schröder — but hasn’t done either yet. I am told they, like other teams pursuing James, are in a holding pattern. The Cavs might make those moves even if James doesn’t pick them. They also might not make those moves if he picks them. Ostensibly, trading Strus for nothing (to increase James’ salary) makes them worse after the departure of Wade. So, if James doesn’t care about the dollars, maybe they hold onto Strus, and possibly even Schröder. That said, removing either one of them without taking anything back gets Cleveland under next season’s first apron, giving the Cavs much more flexibility to upgrade the roster at the trade deadline.
