“Every so often a club will catch lightning in a bottle with a Jonathon Simmons of the world or a David Nwaba, but a lot of good local, high school, college talent that these guys deserve and want a shot,” Lindsey said. “Even the guys that didn’t play at higher levels, that they now have had their opportunity to play in a pro camp and be evaluated here by professionals here with the Stars.”

Point guard Isaiah Taylor is coming to camp on a non-guaranteed deal. The Cavs have 14 players on guaranteed contracts. They are: F Kevin Love; G Collin Sexton; F Rodney Hood; F/C Larry Nance Jr.; G/F Cedi Osman; G George Hill; G Jordan Clarkson; G JR Smith; C Tristan Thompson; G Kyle Korver; F Channing Frye; F Sam Dekker; C Ante Zizic; G David Nwaba.
The Cavs and Nwaba agreed to join forces on August 1, but it was a peculiar set of circumstances. Why? Nwaba picked Cleveland without agreement on the length or value of the contract. Nwaba signed with the Cavs Saturday and the team announced the signing. The 6-4 guard is 25. He averaged 7.9 points and 4.7 rebounds for the Bulls last season, and has played parts of two years with Chicago and the Lakers.
Bobby Marks: Non-guaranteed $1.5M salary for Isaiah Taylor in Cleveland. The point guard will complete for the final roster spot. The Cavaliers have 12 guaranteed with roster spot 13 and 14 reserved for David Nwaba and Rodney Hood. $13M below the tax not factoring in all 3 players.
