The Cleveland Cavaliers could follow the NBA's recent trend of hiring a player agent to run their front office.

The Cavaliers are making a bid for Mark Bartelstein to leave his role as an agent, according to sources.

In similar moves, the Phoenix Suns previously hired Lon Babby, while the Golden State Warriors hired the much younger Bob Myers.

The Cavaliers aren't expected to pursue significant changes to their basketball operations department until after the season.

Here is a full list of Bartelstein's clients.
