Despite the fact that he has one year remaining on his contract worth $7.3 million, he's being courted by the Charlotte Bobcats for an assistant coaching job. The Chicago Bulls took it a step further and have reportedly inquired about Snow for their vacant head coaching position. As of last week, the Cavs have yet to grant the Bulls permission to talk to Snow.

That's because there's a major obstacle hanging over the entire situation: The Cavs have filed a disability claim on Snow's contract that would cover up to 80 percent of the $7.3 million contract.

Also, they could be granted a disabled player salary cap exception worth half Snow's salary. Furthermore, the Cavs could conceivably find trade value in Snow's expiring contract.

So, as one can see, there are a lot of loose ends to this story. A speedy conclusion is highly unlikely. Until the injury claim is settled, the 35-year-old can't start his coaching career.

SEASON HIGHLIGHT: James became the first player in franchise history to lead the league in scoring. He was also the first player ever to lead the league in scoring and average exactly 30 points a game. Along the way, he also overtook former center Brad Daugherty to become the Cavs' all-time leading scorer.

TURNING POINT: Just seconds before the trade deadline was to expire on Feb. 21, the Cavs pulled off the biggest trade in franchise history. They sent six players to Chicago and Seattle and acquired Ben Wallace and Joe Smith from the Bulls and Delonte West and Wally Szczerbiak from the SuperSonics. It was a major undertaking trying to get the four players -- three of whom became starters -- acclimated to the Cavs. They took on more salary and will pay more luxury tax. By losing in the second round of the playoffs, they did not meet their goal.
