Danny Cunningham: Cavs' Whole Offseason Now Hinges on LeBron's Call

Danny Cunningham of Locked On Cavs joins Ken and Lima still without a LeBron decision three weeks into the wait, and argues the Cavs' offseason has gone from "LeBron would be nice" to "LeBron is now a necessity" given the team's lack of other moves. He pegs Miami as the only real threat to Cleveland, ruling out teams like the Warriors or Sixers since he thinks LeBron cares about legacy and won't wear a new jersey late in his career. Cunningham also breaks down how James Harden's actual salary depends on where LeBron lands, floats a Jarrett Allen trade as the Cavs' most realistic path to real roster change, and pushes back on the narrative that Cleveland stood still while the rest of the East improved. He closes by predicting LeBron plays two more seasons wherever he signs, likely on a one-year deal for cap reasons.
