Another possible reason the Cavs moved on from Christmas is that they have another backup big-man option in Sasha Kaun, a 2008 Cavs draft pick who has been playing in Russia. Kaun, who also played at Kansas, met with the Cavs last week in Las Vegas. The team still has $1.2 million left of its taxpayer midlevel exception, and they might use it on Kaun.

Interesting. I understand that Kaun made very good money in Russia and is financially set for life; at this time he just wants to prove to himself that he can play in the top League in the world and probably would play for not much money. It would be great to see Kaun in the NBA.

Kaun keeps letting the process work for him.

Go, Sasha, go!!!!!
