The Cavaliers have already started the paperwork involved in getting Eric Snow approved for disability retirement, according to The Akron Beacon Journal.

The process will take a while because there are many hoops to jump through as Snow complains of debilitating pain in his left knee.

If the process is completed, $7.3 million could be taken off the books.

It's also possible that the league could grant them an exception of up to half of Snow's salary ($3.7 million).
