Cavaliers eyeing Miles Bridges despite financial hurdles

According to Chris Fedor of Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Cavaliers have expressed interest in acquiring small forward Miles Bridges, even though they face financial constraints.

Bridges, who received a $7.9 million qualifying offer from the Hornets, is subject to their right to match any offer he receives. Cleveland is thought to need to present a lucrative deal to dissuade the Hornets. Sources indicate that Bridges’ representatives at Klutch Sports anticipate a significantly higher salary.

It’s worth noting that Bridges, 25, was suspended for the entire 2022-2023 season due to a domestic violence incident involving his wife and children. Although his legal issues will result in a 10-game suspension for the upcoming season, he posted impressive numbers during the 2021-2022 season, averaging 20.2 points, 7 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game.
