Cavs Rumors: Max Strus, Georges Niang, Kelly Oubre Jr. Among Potential FA Targets

The Cleveland Cavaliers are reportedly targeting floor-stretching wings in free agency this summer, with Max Strus, Georges Niang and Kelly Oubre Jr. among their potential targets.

Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports highlighted the trio of free agents who could be on the radar in Cleveland, which will have the full non-taxpayer midlevel exception ($12.2 million) to work with.

Strus emerged as a knockdown wing shooter over the last three seasons with the Heat and will likely price himself out of Miami. He averaged 11.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists last season while shooting 35.0 percent from three-point range.

It is worth noting, however, the last time we saw Strus on the court he was shooting an abysmal 23.3 percent from the floor in the NBA Finals. Based off his regular-season performance, Strus could have commanded a deal worth more than the midlevel. He might have played himself back down into that space in the playoffs.

Niang would be an interesting target if the Cavs want to split their midlevel between two players. He's a career 40.3 percent shooter from three-point range but doesn't do much else. He's not a particularly strong rebounder, passer or defender, and his slow-footedness can be a liability in the playoffs. While shooting at a 40-percent clip from three is always going to be in demand, Niang is much closer to a taxpayer midlevel talent ($5 million).

Oubre seems like a pie-in-the-sky option. He just averaged a career-high 20.3 points per game, and the Hornets will likely be competitive with their offer to bring him back—particularly given their weaknesses on the wing. The market would have to collapse for Oubre to wind up being available at the midlevel, even with teams being more conservative with their spending under the new collective bargaining agreement.
