Who Do The Cavs Choose?

Whether or not the Cleveland Cavaliers sign any of these players is questionable as it depends on what the team does in the trade market. However, within these three player the Cavs have few value free agents that they can choose from.

Furthermore, while these players haven’t played in the NBA in years. They possess physical profiles that should allow them to be effective when they return to the NBA. They also have had time to watch how the new generation of big men must defend to be considered rotation players for playoff contenders.

Out of these options, my choice would go to Moreland of the Canton Charge. Not only has he played some semblance of NBA basketball recently and will adjust to the NBA easier than the other two, Moreland has been versed in Cleveland Cavaliers schemes and terminology with the Charge. Moreland is also the most versatile player in the group and able to play both forward and center for the team. He’s the player most like Thompson but is already a better scorer.

While any player the team signs will be a reserve center and not guaranteed a spot in the rotation, they’ll be one of the most important pieces on the team.

Would you want any of these centers to replace Chris Andersen for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Do you have another player in mind? Let us know in the comments section or Twitter @KJG_NBA.
