BREAKING: Cavaliers offer Andrew Bynum 2 years, $24+ million contract

[bagelred]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are pushing for free-agent center Andrew Bynum to accept a two-year, $24 million-plus, incentive-based contract offer, league sources told Yahoo! Sports on Monday night.

The Cavaliers met with Bynum in Cleveland on Monday, but could fast lose patience with waiting on the two-time NBA champion center to make a decision on accepting the offer, which includes a team option in the second year of the deal, sources said.

Cleveland wants a team option on a second contract year to protect it against losing Bynum to 2014 free agency should his damaged knees heal enough to allow him to make a resurgence this season.

Take da money and run Andrew By Man.

If he doesn't take it, they're going after Kirilenko or Brand.

I said exactly what Cavs are saying. One year doesn't make sense. Cavs need to have at least 2 years locked up for him, or its not worth it.

I would like to see him in Cleveland but I don't think it is in his best interest to go there.

Ok, now there's no excuse for Cleveland not to make the playoffs. Unless...

Bynum, just sign it.

So what's their lineup looking like if Bynum signs. Looking to be pretty decent if Bynum stays healthy.

At Earl Clark. He'd start and be getting 30+ minutes a game next year if he stayed with theLakers. The Cavs, even without Bynum, will win more games than the Lakers next year.

If that fool can stay healthy and average what he did two years ago then the Cavs will be battling the Knicks for the 5th seed. A young, super talented duo of Kyrie and Andrew are enough for the 7th seed in the East. The extra players such as Dion, Anderson and Anthony could propel them to the 5th seed.

If the Cavs get good, this could push the Nets right out of a playoff spot.

I love Earl and was sad the Lakers couldn't keep him, but at least my team doesn't still have Kendrick Perkins as starting C

Actually Mike Brown returning to CLE is like getting back together with a GF and the Lakers were the rebound that were used by Brown to try to get over Cleveland.

Lakers did enjoy the sloppy seconds, though.
