CLEVELAND TEAMS

Here’s a pleasant surprise. Andrew Bynum has signed with the Cavs, and it looks like a low risk, high reward deal. The risk is low because the Cavs are only guaranteeing $6 million. While many are still concerned about Bynum’s knees, the upside here is huge. If healthy Bynum is possibly the best low-post player in the league.

With the additions of Jarrett Jack and Earl Clark, coupled with the rookies and the return of Anderson Varejao, the Cavs suddenly have a very deep roster. The guard and front line rotations in particular can be very good.

At the very least the Cavs now have a real shot to be a contender. Fortunately they passed on Nerlens Noel, and instead decided to take their risks with a player that cost them nothing other than $6 million guaranteed.

I like their moves.
