NBA Analyst Names The Cavaliers' Top Priority This Offseason

The Cleveland Cavaliers have a lot to figure out with the point guard position this offseason.

Darius Garland's name is flying around in trade rumors, and Cleveland's backup point guard, who is coming off a breakout season, is an unrestricted free agent and could be playing for a different team next fall.

Bleacher Report's Dan Favale recently identified every team's top offseason priority and named the Cavaliers' biggest need as to "re-sign or replace Ty Jerome."

"Keeping Ty Jerome is possible for the Cleveland Cavaliers but will be incredibly expensive. Their best offer tops out at around four years and $64 million—a reasonable number that may be enough to retain him, yet one that will cost the team $80 million in additional luxury-tax payments, per ESPN's Bobby Marks," wrote Favale.

"Filling the third ball-handler spot with that kind of money verges on a pipe dream. If Cleveland is moving on from Jerome, it'll either have to hope Jaylon Tyson is ready or suss out opportunities on the trade market—where, as a reminder, the Cavs are currently unable to aggregate salaries or take back more money than they send out."
