The Cleveland Cavaliers are finding ways to solidify their roster and try to match those with arch-rival Golden State Warriors. Just last month, they've acquired outside shooter Kyle Korver from the Atlanta Hawks but it seems that they are not done yet. But surprising news is saying that Lance Stephenson and 3 others are trying out with them and LeBron James is OK with it.
It is no secret that Lance Stephenson has been the annoying defender for LeBron James when he was still playing for the Miami Heat. Both players had been to heated arguments and altercation whenever the Heat and the Indiana Pacers (Stephenson's previous team) meet in East playoffs. Some still the remember the 'blew your ear' ploy by Stephenson just to upset James.
And now, it seems that Lance forgot the drama and just looking to take a spot on the Cavs lineup. According to ESPN, Lance Stephenson together with free-agent guards Jordan Farmar, Kirk Hinrich and Mario Chalmers just recently joined the Cleveland Cavaliers workout. And LeBron James has no problem with it and totally supports the franchise decision to strengthen their roster.
James also stated that he has no personal problem with Stephenson or other players trying for the team as long as they will help them improve and progress. Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue was present during the minicamp and declared that the workout went well. But, there is still no official decision who will the Cavs choose between the 4 players as they will deliberate further who fits in.
However, one report is saying that there's one player who stood out base on the turn out of the trial. According to CBSSports, it is most likely that the Cleveland Cavaliers will sign Jordan Farmar to contract being the top performer in the workout as per team sources. Aside from that, sources are saying that Farmar is willing to sign a 10-day contract.
Unlike Farmar, Chalmers and Hinrich will only agree to join the team if the Cavs assured them that they will be signed for the rest of the season as per league sources. There's really a big possibility that Farmar will be chosen as Chalmers and Stephenson are coming off injuries and not 100% healthy while Hinrich wants a long-term deal with the Cavs.
Nevertheless, the Cleveland Cavaliers still don't have a final decision whether it's Lance Stephenson, Jordan Farmar, Kirk Hinrich or Mario Chalmers who will take the spot but for now, LeBron James and company should move and defend their title.
