- The Cavaliers were among the teams that presented an offer to Kelly Oubre before the wing signed a two-year, $26 million deal with the Hornets, as Stefan Bondy of The New York Daily News recently relayed. It’s not clear what Cleveland offered Oubre but given its cap situation, it’s hard to assume it was above the mid-level exception (worth a starting salary of $9.8 million). Bondy notes that several other teams were in on Oubre, adding that the Knicks, Lakers, Clippers, Bucks, Nuggets, Nets, and Trail Blazers all made various offers.
