The Cleveland Cavaliers have converted the Two-Way contract of Dean Wade into a multi-year deal.

Wade went undrafted in 2019 out of Kansas State.

Wade appeared in 12 games with the Cavaliers during the 19-20 season.

Jordan Bell has agreed to a two-year deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Bell was a second round pick in 2017 by the Golden State Warriors.

Bell has also played in the NBA with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Memphis Grizzlies.

Bell was claimed off waivers by the Capital City Go-Go on March 11th.

Andre Drummond and the Cleveland Cavaliers have both shown interest in a long-term extension, sources told Chris Fedor of cleveland.com.

Drummond, who was acquired by the team at the trade deadline, recently picked up his $28.75 million option for the 2020-21 season.

The two sides would be able to sign a new contract in October.

Drummond averaged 17.5 points and 11.1 rebounds in 8 games with the Cavs. 

The NBA and NBPA are holding discussions about a possible second site for the eight teams not participating in the Orlando restart. The Charlotte Hornets, Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors face a scenario where they will go nearly six months without playing a competitive game.

Sources tell Sam Amick of The Athletic that there is significant support from most of those eight teams about the concept. 

Those eight teams could even play televised games.

The Cavaliers, Pistons and Hawks have been the most vocal among the group in support of the idea. The Knicks have expressed reservations, at least in part because they have a roster with several pending free agents.

One of those teams could serve as host, or they could also play in a city such as Las Vegas or Houston.

Andre Drummond will pick up his $28.75 million player option with the Cleveland Cavaliers for the 20-21 season.

Drummond was acquired by the Cavaliers from the Detroit Pistons in a February trade.

"Yeah, it's going to be hard to give up, so you can count on me being in Cleveland still," Drummond said when pressed on whether he plans to exercise his option.

"I definitely will be in Cleveland."

The decision facing Drummond was expected to be difficult even before the COVID-19 pandemic led the NBA into a more austere 2020 offseason.

Kevin Love will receive the Arthur Ashe Courage Award during the 28th ESPY Award show, which will air on Sunday.

Love's public revelation of mental health issues has generated a greater focus on health and wellness among NBA players and other athletes and created the Kevin Love Fund aimed at “inspiring people to live their healthiest lives while providing the tools to achieve physical and emotional well-being.”

“I’m incredibly humbled by it,” Love said. “It’s really a profound honor if you look back at that group of men and women who I admire. Billie Jean King, Muhammad Ali, Bill Russell, to name a few. It’s very, very humbling to see my name next to those. I just feel like I have so much more work to do. Those are people who put in a lifetime of work. With my name next to theirs, I have an obligation and opportunity to make a lot of change in the world of mental health.

“I know what Arthur Ashe stood for and what he was about, especially being around UCLA. It’s just tough for me even now to put it into words what this means because it’s so much bigger than the realm of sports.”

Collin Sexton spoke of his disappointment with how the Cleveland Cavaliers season ended after the team failed to receive an invite to Orlando.

"I was sick ... I feel like at the end of the season we were looking to ruin teams' hopes in the playoffs and get a few wins here and there and just play it out. We weren't going to make the playoffs, but I felt like us playing those games was definitely going to help us," said Sexton.

The eight teams who weren't invited to Orlando are looking to put on their own workouts and scrimmages to continue developing their rosters.

J.B. Bickerstaff echoed Sexton's sentiment, saying it was important for the young team to be together.  

"How do we get guys together in our market? How do we get some competitive games out of it?" he said. "There is nothing definitive yet, but we are fighting and there are other teams I know for sure that are fighting, too, to get something done because development is key."

A majority of the NBA teams left out of the league's restart of the regular season have proposed putting on their own mini summer leagues and training camps to continue to develop their young players.

The teams, which include Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Minnesota, and New York, could possibly go nine months in between games. There is concern that young, developing players will struggle as they are separated from their teams for an extended period of time.

Several teams have proposed training camps and organized team activities in lieu of regular season games. 

The Pistons and Cavs are discussing the possibility of having joint practices, as well as a mini-pod of games.

The teams have presented several ideas to the league, including: mandatory and voluntary workouts in July, regional minicamps in August that include joint practices and three televised games, and for their 2020-21 training camps to start 7-10 days earlier than teams competing in Orlando.

The league said it would work with the teams in question to help reach a solution.
