By Mike Dyce
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been trying to bring superstar LeBron James home. One Cavs source told Fox Sports Ohio’s Sam Amico that something big would happen in a couple of days on Monday.
That Cavs source told Amico on Wednesday that the day is here.
As @FOXSportsOH reported Monday, source said Cavs will have something big "in couple days." Says now, "Couple of days is here."

Well something big did kick off on Wednesday.

Trade can't be completed until Thursday, but Cavs on brink of shedding contracts of Jarrett Jack, Tyler Zeller & Sergey Karasev in this deal

It is big news because it clears cap space to sign LeBron James if he wanted to come back.
3-team trade involving Cavs, Celtics & Nets could allow Cavs to open about $24M in cap space. LeBron max is $20.7M

Which is something that James’ agent instructed the Cavaliers to do.
For those saying LeBron didn't make the Cavs dump players, @WojYahooNBA reported that Rich Paul told the Cavs to create room for a max deal.
