Sources: Cavs contenders for Baby Drew

[LkrFan]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have joined the Dallas Mavericks as a prime team to watch in the race to sign free-agent center Andrew Bynum.

Sources close to the process told ESPN.com that the Cavaliers are legitimate contenders to sign Bynum after his lost season in Philadelphia, especially if the former Los Angeles Lakers All-Star is willing to sign a one-year deal.

Initial indications are that the Cavaliers won't offer more than a one-year deal to Bynum to preserve all of their projected salary-cap space in the summer of 2014 and the expected free-agent pursuit of LeBron James. But Cleveland does still have roughly $15 million in available salary-cap space to use this summer and, sources say, they have legitimate interest in Bynum.

The Mavericks are also actively pursuing Bynum in the wake of Dwight Howard's decision to sign with the Houston Rockets, sources previously told ESPN.com. The Mavs, though, have launched what sources describe as an "exhaustive" evaluation process regarding Bynum's problematic knees, wanting to be sure that the 25-year-old's health can justify a long-term contract after he failed to log a single second of court time for the 76ers in 2012-13.

The Atlanta Hawks, as ESPN.com reported Saturday night, are the only other known suitors for Bynum, but sources say that free-agent guard Monta Ellis is their priority ahead of Bynum.

How would yall Lakerfans feel in all this? Losing Bynum to a rival and now another marquee bigman to a Western conference team not to mention losing draft picks and now Clark and Duhon.

Last I checked KD is still wearing a Thunder jersey.

:lol avoiding the question because you're too ashamed to answer it

[LkrFan]

Didn't the Cavs sign Mike Brown? There's familiarity between the two of them from their Laker days. A 1-year $15M deal should get it done.

With Cuban's luck, The Cavs sign him long term and he never gets injured again.

They shoulda traded away Varejao when his value was sky high tbh.

[monosylab1k]

at this point, as a mavs fan, all you can do is sit back and watch the train wreck. Hopefully Cuban's ego is sufficiently torn down by the end of this offseason.

[monosylab1k]

:lol a "race" for a center with two bad knees that didn't play at all last season.

[Bill_Brasky]

How did Cuban turn into such a huge idiot overnight?

Fuck you, Brasky, I'm the same guy I was the night befor.......Oh, you said Cuban.

Sorry.

[Michael Jordan.]

How did Cuban turn into such a huge idiot overnight?
Pretty sure it didn't happen overnight (100 million dollar contract - Eric Dampier) :lol. He just got incredibly lucky with Chandler.

[scanry]

I think Cuban can no longer throw the bank. He was always over the cap back in the days and i remember the Spurs cashing Cuban's luxury tax cheques with pride.

[Richard Simmons]

How did Cuban turn into such a huge idiot overnight?

overnight? he's been that way since high school

[TXstbobcat]

The Cavs are young, talented and are one the way up. They should take a pass on Bynum and let Cuban take the gamble on him.

[Spur-Addict]

Nah, its beautiful

+1

[Jacob1983]

If it's a 1 year deal or maybe two then why not? Anything longer than 2 years, I say no.

[Rogue]

the reward comes with equivalent risk imho. it's gonna be a venturous investment no matter which team ends up getting him, or how many years you sign him to. If we could make a deal with Houston I'd rather take Asik in town than gamble on Drew.

[Rogue]

I used to think we needed a big with good offensive game to accompany dirk, but the 11' TC proved me wrong. Defense is the only thing Dirk needs from the C and Asik (or Dalembert) would give you just that imho.

Eat shit, fagg! :rollin :lmao :rollin
