In a matter of minutes, the Cavs have completely revamped half of their roster and it looks like they are going all in in trying to retain superstar LeBron James at the end of the season. The good news is that the Cavs still retain the coveted Brooklyn pick and cannot trade it until this year’s NBA draft.
