The Cavaliers are financially free and strategically poised for the season, thanks to Koby Altman’s savvy moves. By landing Peyton Watson via sign-and-trade and securing James Harden on a three-year, $97M deal, they’ve slipped under both salary cap aprons — no penalties, no restrictions. This flexibility unlocks trade options, sign-and-trades, and waived-player acquisitions previously off-limits. With a roster mostly set, Allen and Merrill stand out as tradeable assets if needed — Allen’s contract is valuable, Merrill’s shooting is elite. The Cavs aren’t just surviving — they’re building a more adaptable, future-proof team.
