Cavs eyeing Jose Manuel Calderon and Andrew Bogut
The Cavs are also interested in Deron Willliams
The Cleveland Cavaliers are interested in Jose Manuel Calderon of the Lakers and Andrew Bogut of the Mavs. The NBA reigning champions are looking for help from the bench and are also eyeing Mavs’ Deron Williams.
Per ESPN, Los Angeles Lakers guard Jose Calderon and Dallas Mavericks center Andrew Bogut, league sources tell ESPN.com, have emerged as two players who greatly interest the Cavs in their search for bench help. The NBA’s reigning champions, who come face-to-face with Anthony in Saturday night’s ABC showcase game at Madison Square Garden, are also closely monitoring Bogut teammate Deron Williams.
The Cavs know trading for Calderon, Bogut or Williams is highly unlikely given Cleveland’s various salary-cap and asset limitations. The best they can realistically hope for is that one or more of those three gets bought out after the trade deadline and eventually hits the free-agent market.
Neither Bogut nor Williams, according to the latest signals emanating from Big D, is said to be particularly interested in a buyout if they’re still with the Mavericks after the Feb. 23 buzzer for trades. The Mavericks’ recent 9-3 surge, furthermore, has given Dallas some life of its own in the hunt for the West’s No. 8 spot despite a 6-18 start, which could well lessen Mark Cuban’s appetite for weakening his roster.
