Richard Jefferson will return to the Cavaliers for the 2017-2018 season and his 17th NBA season. Jefferson will be LeBron James' backup again but he took a step back after an impressive NBA Finals the season before. Jefferson is on the books for just $2.5 million and then will decide to use his player option for 2018-2019. (ESPN.com)
