Chris Tomasson of the Beacon-Journal reports that the Cleveland Cavaliers are working out the financial possibilities of adding Rod Strickland to their roster. They plan to determine by next week whether there's enough money in the budget to land free-agent point guard Rod Strickland.

According to Tomasson, The Cavs are close to their self-imposed spending limit of $50 million. If they release Harold Jamison and his partially-guaranteed salary they will have a team salary of about $48.9 million. That would leave only slightly more than the $1 million minimum for Strickland.

If Strickland is given $1.1 million, it all would count against the cap. If he is given the minimum $1 million, only $637,000 would count against the cap, with the NBA paying the rest.

``We've had meaningful discussions with Rod, and he has an interest in coming to Cleveland,'' Paxson said. ``But there are some financial things that would have to be worked out.''
