The Cleveland Cavaliers are exploring options to strengthen their forward roster following LeBron James' departure to the Philadelphia 76ers. DeMar DeRozan is reportedly interested in joining the Cavaliers, alongside interests from the Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets. DeRozan, who was recently bought out by the Sacramento Kings, had an impressive season averaging 18.4 points per game. The Cavaliers aim to enhance their wing talent after losing Dean Wade and Keon Ellis, adding a player with DeRozan's scoring ability could help them compete for a championship in the Eastern Conference.
