Deng will not re-sign with the Cavaliers, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Analysis:

Deng was traded to the Cavs in January from the Bulls and played in 40 games, averaging 14.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.1 blocks, and 1.0 three-pointers in 34 minutes. The 29-year-old small forward will likely receive a sizable contract in free agency, but the addition of Andrew Wiggins to the Cavs as the No. 1 pick in last Thursday's draft filled Deng's spot on the roster, which is why he'll focus his efforts elsewhere in free agency.
