## Resource

James Harden’s surprise move to the Cavaliers last season paid off with a 19-7 record, but playoff heartbreak came fast at the hands of the Knicks. Now, with Harden opting out of his $42M deal and Cleveland clearly committed to building around him, the future looks bright — especially with LeBron James potentially returning as a free agent. Harden, chasing his first ring despite a glittering resume, may even take a pay cut to help the Cavs chase glory. The offseason is heating up, and the Cavs are ready to make moves.
