The Cleveland Cavaliers may cut Dennis Schroder to create financial flexibility for LeBron James. As Schroder enters the final year of his contract at $14 million, this move aims to attract James, who could consider taking a minimum contract. With Schroder's history of playing for multiple teams, trading him is seen as a feasible option. This comes amidst the Cavaliers' effort to maneuver under second-apron tax constraints.
