Report: Cleveland Cavaliers close to Richard Jefferson deal

By , Reporter
A report suggests that the Cleveland Cavaliers are close to sealing a deal to sign veteran forward Richard Jefferson on a one-year contract.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are nearing a deal to sign veteran forward Richard Jefferson, according to a report.

The 35-year-old is available on the free-agent market after he was allowed to leave the Dallas Mavericks at the end of the 2014-15 season.

The Mavericks moved to re-sign Jefferson, but he has opted against rejoining Rick Carlisle's men to sign a one-year contract with the Cavaliers, according to ESPN.

Jefferson averaged 5.8 points per game for Dallas last season.
