Although the Cavs appear to be one of the favorites to land guard/forward Corey Brewer, they still have their eye on another player at that position. According to the Northeast Ohio Media Group, the Cavs are monitoring the situation for Nets’ Andrei Kirilenko.
The Cavaliers are monitoring Andrei Kirilenko’s state of affairs in Brooklyn, Northeast Ohio Media Group has been told – though it’s more due diligence at this point than anything else.
Cleveland is in dire need of an athletic wing defender who can guard shooting guards and small forwards; and a rim protector. The Cavaliers, on all fronts, are busy these days.
Kirilenko, 33, has a $3.3M contract that ends after this season. Kirlenko had a falling out with Brooklyn’s coach Lionel Hollins and hasn’t played much this season. He’s a career 12 points-per-game scorer.
