Andrew Bogut has committed to signing with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Bogut and the Philadelphia 76ers agreed upon a buyout following his trade.

Bogut also considered the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs and Boston Celtics.

The front office now believes LeBron James was brilliant in lashing out about the state of the Cleveland Cavaliers' roster.

"We top-heavy as s---," James said on Jan. 23 after the Cavaliers lost for the fifth time in seven games. "It's me, [Kyrie Irving], [Kevin Love]. It's top-heavy."

James also said that he had hoped the franchise wasn't satisfied with winning one ring.

David Griffin fired back the next day and called James' statements 'misguided.'

Cleveland is 11-4 since the incident and the assessment has galvanized the team. Griffin on the team's shift, told ESPN "it's joyful to watch." 

The Warriors have been the ultimate motivator for the Cavaliers throughout the past year.

Andrew Bogut has agreed upon a buyout with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Bogut has narrowed his next team down to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs and Boston Celtics. Bogut will have conversations over the next 24 hours with those teams before making his decision.

In 26 games for Dallas, Bogut averaged three points and 8.3 rebounds. 

Bogut spent five seasons with the Warriors before joining the Mavericks.

Andrew Bogut is negotiating his release by the Philadelphia 76ers and intends to sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Dallas Mavericks traded Bogut to the 76ers at the deadline.

‎Various ailments limited Bogut to 26 games with the Mavs. A bone bruise in his knee and a hamstring strain, in particular, caused Bogut to miss extended stretches.

Bogut was the starting center of the Golden State Warriors until his trade last offseason to create cap space to sign Kevin Durant.

Andrew Bogut is engaged in buyout talks with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Bogut wants to pursue a championship and play a significant role for a veteran team.

Cleveland, San Antonio, Houston, Boston and Utah have had discussions with Bogut’s representatives over the last 24 hours.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are expected to sign Derrick Williams to a contract for the remainder of the season.

Williams is currently on his second 10-day contract.

Williams was waived by the Miami Heat earlier this season.

Kevin Love is confident he will be ready for the playoffs as he recovers from knee surgery.

"There's definitely enough time to where I can get into a good rhythm," Love said Friday, speaking to reporters for the first time since having the surgery to remove a loose body in his knee 10 days ago. "I don't know what the [plan is] as far as other guys resting or me resting going forward, but I imagine between J.R. [Smith] and myself, we'll get out there and get our wind and be ready to go for whenever [the playoffs start] in April."

While Love described the procedure as "very minor," he would not come off the six-week timeline the team has provided for his recovery.

"Every time I've been in a situation like this, usually when they say six weeks, they mean six weeks," Love said. "As far as how I feel now, I feel great. But I'll go through all the protocol. I'll be back here on the floor, getting the stitches out, before that, getting the swelling down. It's all just part of going through it."

The Cleveland Cavaliers were monitoring the Boston Celtics efforts to acquire either Paul George or Jimmy Butler at the deadline.

The Celtics are already a top contender in the Eastern Conference, but acquiring either of those star wings would make them even more competitive in a series against the Cavaliers. Both George and Butler have played LeBron James well in the playoffs.

"The Cavs were on pins and needles yesterday about the Celtics getting Paul George or Jimmy Butler," said Windhorst on Zach Lowe's podcast. "Pins and needles. That's why I'm saying. Let's put it this way: if on day one next year it's Gordon Hayward, Al Horford, and Isaiah Thomas, the Cavs will be like 'okay, that's going to be a challenge.' If it's Isaiah Thomas, Al Horford and Jimmy Butler, the Cavs might be out there saying 'we may have to trade Kevin Love.'"

The Celtics were weighing whether to package a combination of draft assets and existing players in a deal. Danny Ainge can revisit those talks in June.

The Philadelphia 76ers will try to find a trade of Andrew Bogut before the deadline.

Bogut was acquired by the 76ers from the Mavericks in exchange for Nerlens Noel.

The Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers have monitored Bogut's situation all season.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Bogut would like to be a free agent and have begun discussions with Philadelphia on a buyout.

The Houston Rockets are receiving interest in Patrick Beverley from the Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls.

Beverley would like to remain with the Rockets.

Beverley is on one of the NBA's best contracts as he re-signed with Houston in 2015 on a four-year, $25 million deal. Beverley is one of the NBA's best defensive guards.
