Quote:Actually no, that is what Cleveland would want to get the biggest portion already paid. The best chance I believe would be to make the biggest cap hits coming in 2015 when they have Haden/Sheard/Taylor/Cameron/Rubin as UFA, and 2016 when they have Gordon and Schwartz hitting FA.

 

Yea, Cleveland does have some talent coming up for new contracts sooner then we do.  That might tie their hands a little.  It will be interesting to see if it works out.  I am cautiously optimistic, but won't be floored if it doesn't happen.  Like TMD said, they are pursuing it and that means something even if they can't close the deal.
