Shumpert will be extended a qualifying offer from the Cavaliers in the next few days, Bob Finnan of the News-Herald reports.

Analysis:

The move will solidify Shumpert's status as a restricted free agent, enabling the Cavaliers to match any offer he may receive on the open market. Cleveland would likely love to bring back Shumpert, one of the team's best perimeter defenders, but if he signs a lucrative offer sheet, they may be unable to match.
