I would be able to help but unfortunately the logo you are wanting is trademarked and we cannot do it. This may be why other companies may have not chimed in either.
 


These could work and they are not "EXACT" Cavs logos

Under a quick glance, all of the above designs would be considered copyright infringement and not trademark infringement.


Copyright infringement
Linda Joy Kattwinkel said:
Under copyright law, the standard for infringement is “substantial similarity.”

Copyright infringement occurs when your new work incorporates artistic expression from the original, even if it takes only a small part of the original work, and even if you add a lot of your own original expression.

Trademark Infringement
Linda Joy Kattwinkel said:
The standard for trademark infringement is “likelihood of consumer confusion,” or for short, “confusing similarity.”

Trademark law is not concerned about whether artistic expression has been copied. Rather, trademark law protects how a logo functions as a brand name, that is, to designate the source of goods or services. A new logo is confusingly similar to the original logo if consumers who encounter it might believe that it represents the same company. This is generally analyzed by looking at the similarity of the logos, the similarity of the parties’ respective goods and services, and several other factors, such as the strength of the original logo’s reputation, the relative sophistication of each party’s customers, etc.
