It's been a rough few years for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but things couldn't get much better for their franchise this summer. After taking Andrew Wiggins in the 2014 NBA draft they're currently analyzing their salary and roster space. Why, you ask? They're about to start a heavy free agency push to re-sign one-time hero LeBron James. How will the signing of rookie Wiggins impact their efforts to lure LeBron to Cleveland? 

Wiggins will be a Cavalier for the duration of his four-year rookie contract, and luckily the rookie restrictions ensure the Cavaliers' salary will barely take a hit, so they can afford to sign James. They've started making transactions to fit the duo in. Alonzo Gee has been traded, and he'd taken most of what was once LeBron's minutes. Does this link together?

Wiggins could play in LeBron's forward position or he could share the minutes with Dion Waiters for the shooting guard position. If James returns the Cavaliers may loom to trade Waiters to pursue further help. If James rejects a return, then the Cavaliers will have a young, cheap and reliable roster. Can their roster survive without James? Only time will tell. Regardless, this summer, the Cavaliers can resolve the James mess for good.

If they're able to do so, it would be hard to look past them enjoying a domination bigger than the Miami Heat have had. Their roster would have experience, youth and pure ability. Can the Cavaliers bring LeBron back? Give your views in the comments box below.
