It appears the Cavs may be on the verge of adding a former MVP.
Derrick Rose and Cleveland are in serious talks about a one-year deal, according to an ESPN report.
Rose averaged 18 points and 4.4 assists over 64 games with the Knicks last season.

He shot 47 percent from the field, but under 22 percent from 3-point territory.
Rose, the 2011 NBA MVP, will turn 29 years old in October.
The max amount of money the Cavs can offer Rose is $2.5 million, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks.

Cleveland has $2.5M of the tax ML remaining and the minimum exception available. The minimum for Rose is $2.1M ($1.5M cap hit). https://t.co/QY9v0nnhzE— Bobby Marks (@BobbyMarks42) July 20, 2017
The Cavaliers tax bill would increase from $71.8M to $83.4M if the remaining tax ML is used. Rose would cost $14.1M (salary + tax).— Bobby Marks (@BobbyMarks42) July 20, 2017
