Mike Brown and Chris Grant have discussed sending Anthony Bennett to the NBA D-League, but the Cleveland Cavaliers do not feel ready to make the move at this point.

"We have talked about it, but I haven’t gone real deep on it with Chris,'' Brown said. "There’s a lot of learning he can do here with the team, whether it’s home or away, whether it’s us game-planning for different teams, going to the practices throughout the course of this homestand, there are a lot of benefits he can get out of it.

"We’ve had discussions, but we’re not to the point where we’d send him.''

Bennett has been a DNP-CD in four straight games. The No. 1 pick in last year's draft is averaging 2.4 points on 26.9 percent shooting this season.

Free agent Hamady Ndiaye will sign a contract to return to the NBA Development League where his rights are held by the Delaware 87ers, a league source told RealGM.

Ndiaye made the Sacramento Kings’ roster out of training camp as a rugged, active seven-footer and brought a positive presence. He was released on Jan. 6 and had been considering Chinese interest and heading back to the D-League.

Ndiaye averaged 1.3 rebounds and 5.3 minutes in 14 games with the Kings.

The 76ers worked out Ndiaye along with several other big men, and they’ll assuredly keep tabs on Ndiaye with their D-League affiliate.

Acquired by Washington in the second round of the 2010 NBA draft, Ndiaye played two seasons with the Wizards. He entered the NBA after four seasons at Rutgers, averaging 9.4 points and 7.4 rebounds as a senior.

The Texas Legends will claim P.J. Hairston off waivers.

North Carolina announced on Dec. 20 that he would not seek reinstatement from the NCAA for Hairston.

Hairston led the Tar Heels in scoring last season as a sophomore with 14.6 points a game and made 89 3-pointers.

The Legends are first on the D-League's waiver list. The Dallas Mavericks own the Legends.

Hairston will not be eligible to play in the NBA this season and can file to join the 2014 NBA Draft.

D-League forward James Nunnally has agreed to sign a 10-day contract with the Atlanta Hawks, a league source told RealGM.

Nunnally receives a call up to the Hawks after an impressive showing at the D-League Showcase in Reno, Nev., where he met with four NBA teams. He scored 19 points and grabbed nine rebounds for the Bakersfield Jam on Tuesday.

Nunnally is averaging 18.2 points and 4.4 rebounds in 19 games this season. Despite past disappointments – including being left out of the Portsmouth Invitational tournament and needing to go through adversity in the D-League – Nunnally made his work habits and progress clear to those around him.

A training camp invitation with the Phoenix Suns in October, Nunnally had been released after three games and evaluated offers before returning to Bakersfield. He went undrafted in 2012, playing four seasons at UC Santa Barbara.

DleagueDigest.com first reported Nunnally was set to be called up to Atlanta.

Intriguing teams as a defensive-minded center, Ty Walker has met with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers during this month’s NBA D-League Showcase, league sources told RealGM.

At 7-feet, Walker is averaging 8.3 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game with the Maine Red Claws, recording a D-League season-high of eight blocks earlier in the season. His wingspan (7-foot-6) and standing reach (9-foot-5) have left similarities to to JaVale McGee and Hasheem Thabeet, respectively, on the defensive end, and he helped hold Malcolm Thomas to just nine points on four of 13 shooting in Tuesday’s game against the Austin Toros.

Walker had also received interest as a potential training camp invitation in September.

For the season, Walker is averaging seven points in 27.5 minutes. The 24-year-old went undrafted in 2012 after four years at Wake Forest.

Seth Curry will rejoin the Santa Cruz Warriors of the D-League.

Curry was asked by the Memphis Grizzlies to wait in town for three days after waiving him, but ultimately declined to sign him to a 10-day contract.

The Santa Cruz Warriors were reportedly anxious for Curry to return to the team to play in the D-League Showcase opener for NBA executives.

In the midst of elevated play with the Los Angeles D-Fenders, James Southerland has met with NBA teams at the D-League Showcase in Reno, Nev., and is maintaining discussions with three other organizations, a league source told RealGM.

Southerland scored 21 points and grabbed six rebounds in the D-Fenders’ win on Monday night, averaging nearly 10 points and seven boards since joining Los Angeles. He started the regular season with the Charlotte Bobcats and played one game, but he was released due to the team’s need to find a veteran forward in Michael Kidd-Gilchrist’s absence with a broken hand.

Southerland, 23, went undrafted out of Syracuse University, where he averaged 13.3 points and five rebounds and solidified himself as a knockdown shooter in his senior season. He played for the Philadelphia 76ers and Golden State Warriors in the NBA Summer League.

Chris Smith will sign with the Los Angeles D-Fenders.

Smith was recently waived by the New York Knicks to create a roster spot for Jeremy Tyler.

Smith averaged 11.3 points in six games with the Erie BayHawks of the D-League on an assignment from the Knicks.

The Los Angeles D-Fenders have acquired guard Terrence Williams, by way of a successful waiver claim.

Williams (6’6” / 220) was selected in the first round (11th selection) by the New Jersey Nets in the 2009 NBA Draft. The Seattle native holds career averages of 7.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 153 career NBA games with the Nets, Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings and Boston Celtics.

Williams has also appeared in three NBA D-League games posting averages of 28.0 points, 11.3 rebounds and 10.7 assists for the Springfield Armor. The Louisville alumnus most recently spent time playing in Turkey for Turk Telekom Ankara and has also played internationally in China for the Guangdong Southern Tigers.
