The Cleveland Cavaliers were already a vulnerable team around the rim on the defense and that has been magnified now that Anderson Verajao is gone for the year with a torn Achilles.
Cleveland needs to fill that void quickly and it appears as if they’re looking to free agent Kenyon Martin. K-Mart would be a good move. When he was with the Knicks, he proved that he can still protect the rim.
The Cavaliers also have some interest in Martin, a source said. Cleveland, however, is not in a rush to replace injured forward-center Anderson Varejao, who was recently lost for the season because of a torn Achilles’ tendon. If the Cavaliers do decide to open a roster spot to replace Varejao, either guard A.J. Price, forward Louis Amundson or center Alex Kirk is expected to be waived, a source said. Martin, who has averaged 12.5 points and 6.9 rebounds in a 14-year career, recently expressed interest in playing for Cleveland after Varejao was injured.
