Shumpert’s signing comes after the Cavs gave Kevin Love a five-year, $110 million deal and Tristan Thompson a five-year, $80 million contract. And it’s highly unlikely LeBron James will ever play anywhere other than Northeast Ohio. Three highly impactful players who play the power forward position, though, apparently aren’t enough for the Cavaliers. West sacrificed a $12.2 million pay day from the Indiana Pacers for the 2015-2016 National Basteball Association season to become a free agent.

He has been linked to the San Antonio Spurs and Washington Wizards in the past couple of days with the Cavs another fitting contender to be hot on his trail.
