The defending NBA champions, Cleveland Cavaliers are facing some problems filling up their roster this coming NBA season. They are currently in negotiation with J.R. Smith and now Mo Williams decides to retire, leaving an empty spot for another guard position.
In a report held by the CBS Sports, the Cleveland Cavaliers management contacted a couple of potential replacements to Mo Williams. Norris Cole and Mario Chalmers are mentioned, which are both common names for LeBron James, and there is Kirk Hinrich, which can also help the young core of the Cavaliers.

Though the Cavaliers can sign a free agent with a veteran minimum, according to the cleveland.com, Coach Tyronn Lue would give their rookie Kay Felder a chance to play as a backup guard for Kyrie Irving. This would be a great opportunity for Kay Felder to show his talent and skills in front of the Cavaliers fans.
Kay Felder, who only stands 5'9", defines the word improvement and potentiality during his college years. Felder spent 3 years in college and improved his number every year. As a freshman, he finished 9.5 points and 6.4 assists improved in sophomore year and finished his junior year with a nearly double-double stats with 24.4 points and 9.3 assists per contest.
The Cavaliers have a lot of options as they enter the NBA training camp with several invitations. DeAndre Liggins and Jordan McRae could also a potential backup guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers this year.
With LeBron James on the court for the Cavaliers, back-court players are having an easy job compared to other teams since LeBron James used to call the play in most cases. Since Tyronn Lue is planning to limit LeBron James' playing time, Kay Felder would have a very much time to prove himself worthy of a couple of playing time.
