The Cleveland Cavaliers have been in touch with the agent of Richard Jefferson about the possibility of him not making their regular season roster.

Jefferson makes $2.5 million this season compared to $7.3 million for Channing Frye, which makes Jefferson an easier contract to waive or trade.

"You go into every year assuming that whatever the coach needs, that's what you have to be ready to do," said Jefferson.

Due to the Cavaliers tax situation, it is unlikely they would waive a player they just signed.
