We all know the Cavs are the champions, now we are in the NBA off season. LeBron has entered free agency for the third year in a row, but promises he still is staying in Cleveland. SBNation has an article about the options the Cavs have coming up in the next couple of months.

Here are the players currently under contract.

Presently the Cavaliers have eight players under contract for next season:

Kevin Love, $21.2 million
Kyrie Irving, $17.6 million
Tristan Thompson, $15.3 million
Iman Shumpert, $9.7 million
Channing Frye, $7.8 million
Mo Williams, $2.2 million
Sasha Kaun, $1.3 million
Jordan McRae, $900,000

The article continues to discuss the options of the players in free agency that were on this championship team. Most notably is of course LeBron, will he stay or will he go? It would be on par with a Draymond kick in the nuts if he suddenly decided to leave Cleveland, so most people believe he will sign another max contract of 1 year with a player option for next year so that he can maximize his earnings when the cap sky rockets after next season.

SBNation's projection for LeBron:

LeBron James will sign a two-year, $56.4 million contract with a player option on the second year and a 15 percent trade kicker.
