If the Cavaliers weren't able to trade for point guard Mo Williams, they planned to try and make a move for restricted free agent J.R. Smith, according to Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Williams was their first choice, but they liked the idea of a sign-and-trade with the Nuggets for Smith as well.
Smith ended up re-signing with the Nuggets for about $16 million over five years.

If Cleveland ends up signing him, he'll likely fill the role that Joe Smith played prior to the Mo Williams trade this summer.
