Andrew Bogut Talking To Celtics Before Choosing Next Team

And, more help may be on the way for the Cavs, as Williams’ Dallas teammate, center Andrew Bogut, may also be on his way to Cleveland when the Philadelphia 76ers buy out his contract.

Milwaukee’s weekend of games continued to provide little insight into where this team is ultimately heading this season.

Williams kills two birds with one stone as the defending champs march towards the NBA Finals. Staffers were telling him to do nothing but sleep; Lue nodded his agreement that he needed whatever medications James had been on. It was critical that Bogut was waived before Thursday because he now retains his eligibility to play in the playoffs.

According to Joe Vardon of cleveland.com, Deron Williams has officially signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers. One added benefit of Bogut is that, for a big man, he is a tremendous passer, and another is that he is a very efficient defender and very solid rim protector. He is 11-for-36 from the floor, 1-for-12 from behind the arc, in that span.

“The main thing that I’ve said from the beginning is our process and our health”, said James, when asked about the month ahead. But he came to the arena and headed to the weight room, deciding he would let how he felt after a workout determine whether he would play against the Bucks. If he signs with the Cavs, they will have to create a roster spot and most likely will release guard Jordan McRae. Bogut was traded by Dallas to Philadelphia last week and was granted his release on February 27. He just makes everybody better, myself included.

In January, with the Cavs going through a tough stretch, James had called out his front office, saying, “We need a f-king playmaker”.

The Sixers did Bogut a serious “one-ups”. The 32-year-old former Buck and Warrior, averaging three points and 8.3 rebounds in 22.4 minutes this season, must first clear waivers to become a free agent.

That would be beneficial to him in a contract year.

If Bogut, who won a ring with Golden State, is serious about a chasing a second title, Cleveland offers him the best chance.

Korver believes Williams, who will come off the bench for the Cavs, will blend in nicely with Cleveland.

The Cavaliers were without Lebron James, Kevin Love, and J.R. Smith, so any conclusions drawn from this game would be irresponsible.

Since the start of this season, the Cavaliers have been looking for a veteran point guard to take some of the load off Kyrie Irving, and, to a lesser extent, LeBron James.
