If today is the NBA Finals, somebody from the Cleveland Cavaliers will find himself in a familiar situation, but this time, wearing the uniform he used to battle against two seasons ago. At this point of time, center Andrew Bogut is definitely thinking of achieving that feat.
Cavs Nation published that the defending champions added the Aussie big man to their roster to fill the gap on their front court left by the injured Kevin Love. The Cavs will have a solid presence at the center position and Cleveland have witnessed it when they faced the Golden State Warriors in the last two NBA Finals series where Andrew Bogut is still part of the Warriors' rotation.
The process for Andrew Bogut did not come as easy as he expected. After being traded to the Philadelphia 76ers with Justin Anderson by Dallas in exchange for Nerlens Noel, the 7-foot center still needed a negotiation with the Sixers' management to waive him so he could sign with the Cavaliers.
Last week, Sports World News reported that the team has been in constant talk with free agent Larry Sanders who is working on his NBA comeback after a two-year hiatus since Love will be gone for a month and a half due to an injury. During that time, Andrew Bogut is still part of the Mavericks.
"I heard it's beautiful this time of year," answered Andrew Bogut after TNT's David Aldridge asked him in choosing Cleveland as his next team through his tweet. With the Cavs currently on top of the ESPN Eastern Conference standings with 41-17, he is definitely has a chance of making it to the NBA Finals.
He is expected to team up with his teammate in Dallas in Deron Williams, who was signed by the Cavs days ago. Picked first overall in the 2005 Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks, Andrew Bogut will be providing the Cavs his rebounding prowess, averaging career 8.9 boards together with his 10.0 points and 1.6 blocks according to ESPN statistics.
