Being in the NBA’s second apron is damaging for the Cleveland Cavaliers , but there is a way out.

Coming out would mean better roster flexibility , a lifting on certain trade restrictions, and the unfreezing of future draft picks, to name a few. But now that the Cavs' season is over, they can go to work on lifting the second apron that has been hampering them. And there is one trick to do this.

Negotiate a cheaper deal with veteran star James Harden, a player who has stated that he wants to remain with the Cavaliers. And it has been reported that he is expected to decline his player option and sign a two-year deal worth $ 60 million.

Mind you this moves gets the Cavs out of the Second Apron.…
