CLEVELAND -- The Cavaliers have cleared a path for LeBron James to return to Cleveland.
Johnny Oduya
Stars Jersey . Theyve made their moves. Theyre just waiting for him to
make his. The Cavs created enough salary-cap space to offer the superstar free
agent a maximum contract on Wednesday agreeing to trade guard Jarrett Jack,
swingman Sergey Karasev and centre Tyler Zeller in a three-team deal with
Brooklyn and Boston, a person familiar with the deals told The Associated Press.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because teams are not permitted to
discuss trades until the leagues moratorium ends Thursday. The manoeuvring is
designed to open room under the salary cap so they can re-sign the Akron-born
James, the four-time league MVP and most sought-after player on the market. With
open roster spots, Cleveland isnt done. Not long after making the trade with the
Celtics and Nets, the Cavs had exploratory discussions with the Minnesota
Timberwolves about a possible trade for three-time All-Star Kevin Love -- if
James does return to Cleveland, said a person with knowledge of the inquiry. The
Timberwolves would be looking for No. 1 overall draft pick Andrew Wiggins to be
part of any potential package from Cleveland in order to consider parting with
Love if the talks were to become more serious, the person said, speaking with
the AP on condition of anonymity because neither team publicly announced the
conversation. Whatever the Cavs next move is -- with or without James -- they
could package together their other assets, including future first-round picks,
to make a run at other All-Star players. Meanwhile, James had his meeting in Las
Vegas with Miami president Pat Riley. James, his agent Rich Paul, Riley and Heat
executive Andy Elisburg were at the meeting, a person with direct knowledge of
the discussions told The AP. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because
neither side publicly announced who would be attending the meeting or when it
would take place. James has not made a decision and will not make any
announcements before Thursday, the person said. With nothing finalized,
LeBronathon 2014 will last at least one more day with the NBA -- and fans in
Miami and Cleveland -- on edge. And as he takes fans on another summer thrill
ride, James has one more offer to consider in deciding where to play next
season: Ohios Cedar Point amusement park is promising to rename one of its
roller coasters "King James" if he returns home to play for the Cavs. A park
spokesman says its a legitimate offer that originated with the CEO. Cedar Point
sent out a tweet with the proposal on Wednesday, telling James, who has visited
the park in Sandusky, Ohio, many times, the ball was "in his court." In the
three-team trade the Cavs pulled off earlier Wednesday, Cleveland will receive
guard Marcus Thornton from the Nets and send him, Zeller and a future
first-round pick to the Celtics. Also, the Cavs are trading Jack and Karasev to
the Nets. Jack, who signed with Cleveland as a free agent last season, was
scheduled to make $6.3 million, Zeller will make $1.6 million and Karasev $1.4
million. In trading those salaries, the Cavs have enough to give James a
maximum, $20.7 million contract -- if he decides to sign with Cleveland. James
played his first seven seasons with the Cavs before leaving as a free agent in
2010, and its apparent the team is doing everything it can to bring him back.
Under NBA rules, teams must abide by a salary cap set by the league. If the
combined salaries of the teams roster surpasses the cap, teams are forced to a
pay additional taxes. Last season, the salary cap was approximately $59 million,
and the league announced Wednesday that it will increase 7.5 per cent to an
all-time high of $63.065 million for the 2014-15 season. The tax level -- the
point at which a team is penalized for exceeding the salary cap -- for next
season has increased by 7.1 per cent to $76.829 million. ESPN first reported
details of the three-team trade. Jacks first season with Cleveland didnt go as
he or the Cavs had hoped. He signed a four-year, $25 million deal last July
after playing in Golden State. The Cavs counted on him being a leader for their
young team, but it didnt work out as Cleveland finished 33-49, missed the
playoffs and fired coach Mike Brown.

blowout win over the Jets, even though the Bills were missing both starting wide
receivers. Heading in the other direction, the Jets, naturally, fell from 12 to
15, after getting stomped in Buffalo and Washingtons continued struggles landed
them in 28th, their lowest ranking of the season. Scott Cullen can be reached at
