The Cavaliers have agreed to a two-year contract with center Sasha Kaun, a league source confirmed. He will serve as a backup in a deep frontcourt.
Kaun, 30, was a 2008 second-round pick, but has spent his career overseas. He averaged 9.9 points and 4.5 rebounds last season for CSKA Moscow in the Euroleague.
Kaun was drafted 56th overall by the Seattle SuperSonics and immediately traded to the Cavs at the urging of scout Chico Averbuck, who predicted Kaun could be an NBA center after a few years of seasoning in Europe. That’s precisely how it played out. At 7 feet and 256 pounds, he will join Anderson Varejao as a backup center to Timofey Mozgov and Tristan Thompson.
Kaun’s signing will give the Cavs 14 guaranteed contracts for next season, including Thompson, who is still without a deal.
