Following a six-game loss in the NBA Finals to the champion Golden State Warriors, Cleveland’s front-office has been busy spending gobs of money since the free agency period began this week, locking up Kevin Love (five years, $110 million), Tristan Thompson (over $80 million) and Iman Shumpert (four years, $40 million).
