Cleveland Cavaliers' Updated 2017 Offseason Whiteboard

Armed with veteran minimum contracts, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been attacking free agency with relentless aggressiveness.

Just kidding. The team still doesn't have a general manager, and its biggest outside addition to date is Jose Calderon, a 35-year-old point guard on his last NBA legs.

This always had the potential to be a dull summer for the Cavs, who have no cap space and entered with eight of their 10 rotation players already under contract. Former GM David Griffin and tyrant owner Dan Gilbert couldn't come to an agreement on a new deal. Neither could Chauncey Billups, who spent nearly two weeks debating whether he wanted to run the Cavaliers' front office before ultimately passing on the job, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

As the free-agent pool dries up and other contenders grow stronger, the Cavs can still improve their roster via their $5.19 million taxpayer mid-level exception or veteran minimum deals. Having already come to terms with Calderon on a one-year, $2.3 million contract, per ESPN's Brian Windhorst, and agreed to re-up Kyle Korver on a three-year, $22 million deal, per Shams Charania of The Vertical, here's where Cleveland should turn its attention next.

2016-17 Per-Game Stats: 5.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.7 assists, .409/.351/.805 shooting, 11.4 minutes

Green should be a low-cost three-and-D wing who can play multiple positions and started seven playoff games for the No. 1 seed Boston Celtics this past season. At 31, he has the athleticism of someone a half-decade younger, which would make him a nice addition to the Cavaliers' second unit. 

His willingness to come to Cleveland may hinge on the future of Iman Shumpert, a player similar in style who's owed more than $21 million over the next two years. Despite their need for perimeter defenders, the Cavs reportedly wanted to dump Shumpert on the Houston Rockets for a trade exception or non-guaranteed contracts to free up other options, per ESPN's Brian Windhorst. Since PJ Tucker agreed to a four-year, $32 million deal with the Rockets on Saturday, according to Charania, it's doubtful Houston would still be interested in Shumpert.

If the Cavaliers do eventually find a taker for Shumpert, they would need another wing defender who can hit open threes. Green held opponents to just 32.5 percent shooting from deep during the regular season while converting 46.7 percent of his own attempts during the playoffs.

Green, who's played on rookie and minimum deals for most of his career, could join the team that eliminated him from the postseason on a similar contract.

2016-17 Per-Game Stats: 9.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.4 assists, .482/.338/.774 shooting, 19.4 minutes

The Cavaliers need someone on their bench who can produce his own offense and won't qualify for social security in a few years.

Enter Shabazz Muhammad, a 24-year-old who owns a career scoring mark of 18.9 points per 36 minutes. After a tough rookie season, he became a valuable member of the Minnesota Timberwolves' second unit.

To squeeze in all of their summer signings, Minnesota had to pull Muhammad's qualifying offer, according to ESPN's Chris Haynes, making him an unrestricted free agent. Terry Pluto of the Plain Dealer mentioned Muhammad as someone who should be on Cleveland's radar, writing:

"Another name for the Cavs as an athletic swing player: Shabazz Muhammad. He is not in the same caliber of a defender as Derrick Williams. But the 6-foot-6 Muhammad is a very good scorer. He averaged 9.9 points, shooting .482 from the field in 19 minutes a game for Minnesota. He's a slasher to the rim, not an outside shooter. He's only 24."

For those perturbed by Muhammad's mediocre 32.3 career three-point shooting percentage, consider the "LeBron effect." Williams was far worse when he came to Cleveland, having shot under 30.0 percent from deep throughout his career. During his 25 games with the Cavs, his conversion rate jumped to 40.4 percent. Muhammad is already a better shooter than Williams and would likely see a bump in his accuracy as well.

One other factor possibly pairing the former UCLA star and the Cavaliers? Rich Paul, who represents James, Tristan Thompson and JR Smith, is also Muhammad's agent.

2016-17 Per-Game Stats: 6.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.0 steals, .505/.391/.678 shooting, 22.3 minutes

The Cavs need long, intelligent and persistent defenders against the Golden State Warriors, and few better remain on the market than Luc Mbah a Moute.

A starter with the Los Angeles Clippers over the past two seasons, the 30-year-old was often asked to guard the opponent's best wing while sacrificing scoring opportunities. Despite limited looks, his 39.1 percent shooting from deep was a career best.

At 6'8" and 230 pounds, he's big and mobile enough to challenge Kevin Durant or Draymond Green defensively. The Clippers were 6.2 points per 100 possessions better when he was on the floor this past season.

In Cleveland, his job would be to provide a defensive intensity which the second unit often lacks. In a potential NBA Finals rematch against the Warriors, he could switch onto a number of their offensive threats, thus reducing LeBron James' defensive workload.

Overall, Mbah a Moute held opponents to 3.4 percentage points lower than their normal shooting marks, a rate similar to Jae Crowder of the Boston Celtics (3.6) and James (3.7), per NBA.com.

2016-17 Per-Game Stats: 12.3 points, 2.6 assists, 0.7 steals, .413/.360/.857 shooting, 26.3 minutes

Could you imagine the one-on-one practice battles between Crawford and Kyrie Irving?

While not technically a free agent yet, Crawford appears headed that way after being part of a three-team trade that will land Danilo Gallinari with the Los Angeles Clippers, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Now with the rebuilding Atlanta Hawks, Crawford is "interested in a contract buyout or getting waived in Atlanta so that he can become a free agent" ESPN's Marc Spears noted in the same report.

While the Los Angeles Lakers are his first choice, according to Spears, the Cavaliers are among the teams inquiring about his situation, per ESPN's Chris Haynes.

At 37, Crawford is still a dynamic fill-it-up scorer who can carry a team's offense for stretches. No player prefers to work in isolation more often, as he spent 25.3 percent of his possessions playing one-on-one last season, the highest mark in the NBA.

That tendency could become an issue next to LeBron James (20.3 percent of possessions) and Irving (21.4 percent), especially against the pass-happy Golden State Warriors. From a pure talent standpoint, however, Crawford would be one of the best guards on the market in Cleveland's price range.

2016-17 Per-Game Stats (Anthony): 22.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, .433/.359/.833 shooting, 34.3 minutes

2016-17 Per-Game Stats (Wade): 18.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, .434/.310/.794 shooting, 29.9 minutes

More than any player currently on the market, the Cavs have to be keeping a close eye on both Anthony and Wade's situations.

While Anthony would reportedly waive his no-trade clause to come to Cleveland, according to Wojnarowski, a deal for the 33-year-old star doesn't make financial sense. The Cavaliers would either have to give up Kevin Love or gut their bench with the likes of Iman Shumpert, Channing Frye, Richard Jefferson and others.

The pressure is on the New York Knicks to make a move with Anthony, as he can veto any deal they present. They may end up having to buy him out sometime this summer or after the trade deadline.

The same can be said of Wade, who picked up his $23.8 million player option for this season with the Chicago Bulls. After trading Jimmy Butler and releasing Rajon Rondo, the rebuilding Bulls no longer have use for Wade. While they'll attempt to deal him first, another post-trade-deadline buyout may be looming.

Ideally, Cleveland would use its mid-level exception now to add more free-agent talent and hope both Anthony and Wade secure enough money in their respective buyouts to agree to join LeBron and the Cavaliers on the veteran's minimum.

A move to the Cavs may rejuvenate a player like Anthony, who has the potential to be a solid defender along with an elite complementary scorer. Wade could be Cleveland's new sixth man, putting far more pressure on the Golden State Warriors' second unit than the likes of Deron Williams did.

While other teams will make their biggest free-agent headlines now, we may have to wait months for the Cavs to check off the top of their wish list.
