Why Cavaliers are pushing Dean Wade toward a discount deal
Cleveland's front office wants Dean Wade back but only on terms well below the mid-level exception he and his representatives seek this offseason. The 29-year-old undrafted forward just finished a three-year, $18.5 million extension with a $12.6 million cap hit for next season. He averaged modest minutes in the Eastern Conference Finals before the Cavaliers fell to the Knicks.
