The 15 year veteran still has a little get up in his legs, a versatile defender and a legit threat from downtown shooting 42.6 percent this past season.

Jefferson’s best asset could be keeping the locker room together, as he is a valued NBA veteran process and a beloved teammate to any team he joins.

Opting to join the Cavaliers, Jefferson possibly has his best chance to win a ring and getting to play with LeBron James helps too.

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ moves and regaining players from injury will make them the favorite out East.
