Despite speculation about his long-term future with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kyrie Irving made it clear on Monday that he supports the team's moves this offseason and is excited to be part of the organization.

"I’m a Cavalier right now, I’m happy to be a Cavalier,'' Irving said after the first USA Basketball practice at UNLV's Mendenhall Center on Monday afternoon.

Someone had posted on Twitter that Irving was not "long for Cleveland."

"I kind of had a sarcastic approach to it from what he said because it was a rumor starter,'' Irving said. "I don’t think he knows anybody in my camp, and I don’t know who the guy is. That type of stuff I don’t pay any attention to. Right now I’m a Cleveland Cavalier and I’m happy to be here.''

As if he had any intention of leaving right now, Irving said, "No, no intention.''

The Miami Heat, New Orleans Pelicans and Sacramento Kings will send representatives to meet with Greg Oden and watch him work out.

The San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks also had face-to-face meetings with Oden and remain interested in signing him.

Oden has played just 82 career NBA games due to various knee problems.

The Heat had been considered a leading contender to sign Oden.

The Miami Heat beat the Cleveland Cavaliers by a final score of 82-76 in Summer League play on Saturday.

Jarvis Varnado led the Heat with 13 points and 12 rebounds, while Damion James had 12 points and 10 rebounds.

Justin Harper had 21 points and five rebounds for the Cavaliers.

Dion Waiters will give up all point guard duties under new Cleveland Cavaliers coach Mike Brown.

"I’m viewing him strictly as a 2-guard," Brown said.

Brown wants Waiters, the No. 4 pick in the 2012 draft, to contribute in areas other than scoring.

"I even told Dion, 'You could go 0 for 20 for all I care. Shoot the ball every time you touch it. Don’t make a shot. I’m not looking at that right now because we’ll correct that part,'" Brown said from the Las Vegas summer league. "I just want to see the little things that add up to championship level basketball. Each game I thought he’s gotten a little bit better in those areas."

Andrew Bynum is eager to work with the Cleveland Cavaliers’ training staff on his recovery from arthroscopic surgery on both knees.

"The Cavs so far have given me every opportunity to succeed," Bynum said during his introductory press conference. "The medical staff is great. They've put together a plan going forward. I pretty much just show up and work hard. I really believe in the doctors here and in the training staff. I'm in a different place because after the surgery I feel a lot better than I did last year. With time off I've been able to get the swelling out. I'm just ready to work. I'm here. I moved up here already, found a new location to live. I'm going to be in this gym as much as possible to get my game back to the level that I know I can."

In signing Bynum to a two-year contract that could pay him up to $24 million, the Cavaliers are hoping for a return to his form in 2011-12.

"I was an All-Star in this league a year and a half ago and I have a lot of room to grow," Bynum said. "Watching the game from outside, I can see where I’m needed in the game. That’s defense, swing protection, sprinting down the lane, posting up big, creating double teams, making it easy on my teammates around me. I’m ready."

The Cleveland Cavaliers have waived Kevin Jones and Chris Quinn.

Jones played in 32 games this past season for the Cavs, averaging 3.0 points and 2.4 rebounds in 10.5 minutes per game.

Quinn played in seven games for the Cavs, averaging 1.4 points and 1.3 assists in 11.3 minutes per game.

The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the San Antonio Spurs by a final score of 72-66 in Summer League play on Thursday.

Dion Waiters scored 27 points on 12-for-23 shooting and six rebounds.

Marcus Denmon scored 19 points, while Aron Baynes had 13 points and 10 rebounds.

Kyrie Irving is eligible for a contract extension next offseason with the Cleveland Cavaliers, but a rumor from Brandon Tierney of CBS Radio indicates there could be discord.

“I’ve heard from someone in the know… Kyrie Irving not long for Cleveland," said Tierney.

Irving responded to the statement on Twitter.

“I wish I knew ‘someone in the know’ for all my facts, maybe I would go into journalism as well!!” said Irving.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are considering bidding on Mike Miller on amnesty waivers.

The Miami Heat amnestied Miller on Tuesday to save on luxury tax payments.

Miller is owed $12.8 million over two seasons.

Miller is close friends with LeBron James, who the Cavaliers will pursue in 2014.

Despite interest from several teams, Miller is considering fusion surgery to repair bulging disks in his back.

The New Orleans Pelicans defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers by a final score of 66-62 in Summer League play on Monday.

Lance Thomas had 14 points and 10 rebounds, while Austin Rivers had 13 points on 5-for-12 shooting. Jeff Withey had five points, three rebounds and three blocks in 15 minutes of play.

Tyler Zeller had 15 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Cavaliers. Dion Waiters scored 16 points on 5-for-16 shooting.
