James Harden, Cavaliers on same page as Cleveland pursues LeBron James and roster upgrades

“Let’s get to one guy that played with the Cavs this past season, that is James Harden. He opted out of his deal with Cleveland. What can you tell us about his future with the Cavs?” Shams Charania: “James Harden will be going back to the Cavaliers just depending on how this shakes out with LeBron James and other upgrades the Cavs are able to make. He will be back, my understanding is on a multi-year deal. Whether that is a two-year deal, a three-year deal, a lot of that shakes out after the Cavs’ offseason moves. But I am told James Harden, his reps are on the same page with the Cavs. They want to give the organization as much flexibility as possible to see what upgrades they can make, because they know there needs to be some level of upgrade on the roster, especially on the wings. So whether it is LeBron James, a guy like Jonathan Kuminga, this is a Cavs group led by Koby Altman, president of basketball operations, that is being aggressive here in the market, and that starts with LeBron James.”
