Head coach David Blatt knows the Cavaliers are better if LeBron James can be convinced to rest during the regular season.
James said at the team's media day that power forward Kevin Love will make it easier to take time off, minutes and perhaps even games, in 2015-16.
Love is ready to play after missing the final three postseason series with a shoulder injury in his first season with James and in Cleveland.
The Cavaliers and restricted free agent Tristan Thompson are still at an impasse on a new contract with training camp starting this week.
Thompson missed the team's media day on Monday (local time).
The Cavs did not accept Thompson's most recent offer of a three-year maximum contract that his side proposed last week, according to ESPN.com. Thompson likely will miss the start of practice on Tuesday.
