It's long been thought that LeBron James is the real general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers and it seems to be that way as he's seemingly gotten all of his "guys" either paid —- like Tristan Thompson —- or brought to the team like James Jones. It seems that the Cavs are making one more move this offseason to keep "The King" happy in a free agent acquisition.

Of course, the "Birdman" played on the Miami Heat when LeBron was there and winning two titles. He would likely be a veteran bench presence on this team as Kevin Love, Thompson and Channing Frye are more likely to get minutes ahead of him. It's still a nice deal for Birdman to potentially win another ring with his good buddy LeBron James.
