James Harden’s blockbuster return to the Cavaliers, signed to a $97M, 3-year deal with an opt-out after Year 3, has thrown the team into a cap crunch. Already hard capped at $209M, they now face a roster logjam — two open spots that would cost over $1M each if filled with rookies — and can’t use certain exceptions. With no room for cheap veterans, a trade looms, likely sending Sam Merrill packing before tip-off. The Cavs have the star, but fitting the rest of the puzzle? That’s the real challenge.
