The Cleveland Cavaliers are trying to figure out what their roster is going to look like this season and that has so far involved some addition by subtraction. Guard A.J. Price was waived by the Cavaliers and that opened up a roster spot that many believe would be filled by Ray Allen.
In short, it won’t be.

It’s not a signing that at all sets the world on fire for the Cavaliers and it’s going to be a bummer that Allen wasn’t signed. Still, the Cavs needed to fill the roster spot left open by the waiving of A.J. Price and Will Cherry is a name that seems to fit what the roster is being built for.
