The Cleveland Cavaliers hoping to land one of the biggest free agents on the market, and former NBA player Channing Frye might have just spilled the beans. As the NBA world awaits LeBron James’ decision in free agency, his hometown Cavs are one of the reported teams still in the running. And after Frye revealed a conversation with current Cavs star James Harden, it might just be only a matter of time.
“He [LeBron] and James Harden would be a great matchup,” Frye acknowledged. “I even talked to James the other day, the other night. And he was like, ‘yo, we’re just waiting on big fella.’”
As far as the teams still in the mix for LeBron James in free agency, in addition to the Cavs, the Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors have been rumored to be in the mix. But for Frye, the only team that makes sense roster wise is the Cavs.

“I think the only two options are Cleveland and Miami,” Frye said. “But I don’t like the roster in Miami at all. There’s not enough shooters. Giannis plays more of a Jokic-style basketball where he has to have the ball in his hands, and then now you’re making LeBron James a spot-up shooter.”
Frye played parts of three season with James in Cleveland, and was part of the 2016 championship team that came back from a 3-1 deficit against the Golden State Warriors.
James is coming off a season in which he averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 51.5 percent from the field, 31.7 percent from the 3-point line and 73.7 percent from the free-throw line.
