The Cleveland Cavaliers are exploring the possibility of signing 13-year veteran Juwan Howard to improve their depth before Wednesday's season opener against the Dallas Mavericks.
Howard's contract was bought out by the Minnesota Timberwolves today.
With restricted free agent Anderson Varejao still unsigned in a messy contract holdout, Howard would fit nicely with LeBron James and the Cavaliers, who are desperate for experienced frontline help.
Howard has averaged 16.1 points and 7.1 rebounds in his career. Last season, he averaged 9.7 points and 5.9 rebounds in 26 minutes for Houston.
Also today, the Cavs signed rookie swingman Demetris Nichols to a contract and waived forward Noel Felix.
