"Can't wait to repeat...2 year deal done!! The Land you ready?" Jefferson wrote.

The deal was not confirmed by the Cavaliers.

The 36-year-old Jefferson joined the Cavaliers before last season and contributed mostly in a reserve role to a team that won the NBA championship last month. He averaged 5.5 points and 1.7 rebounds in 74 regular-season games, below his career averages of 13.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.

Jefferson said after Game 7 of the NBA Finals that he likely would retire, but he told Cavaliers fans at a victory parade that he could come back for another season.
