Cavs may still be tinkering with roster as camp looms Cavaliers

The Cavaliers are just days away from opening training camp but may not be done with their roster.

The Cavs are considering adding another guard to the mix, according to multiple league sources. They have been making calls on some remaining free agents and testing the trade-market waters to see who might be available.

Even before Delonte West was facing a possible suspension after he was arrested and charged with illegal gun possession last week, it was arguable the team could use another ball handler. Mo Williams and West are the only two players on the team that have proven they can play point guard. Daniel Gibson has done it, but hasn't proven he can be effective. Last season, the Cavs' third-string point guard was Tarence Kinsey, who was released in July.

It is believed the team had some interest in former Cav Flip Murray before Thursday when he agreed to a contract with the Charlotte Bobcats. There are several other veteran guards who are without jobs as the league prepares to open camps Monday.

The list includes players like Chucky Atkins, Juan Dixon, Bobby Jackson, Jerry Stackhouse and Jacque Vaughn. It is also possible the team will look to trade for a guard or simply stand pat.

One thing the Cavs have going for them is roster flexibility. They only have 12 players with fully guaranteed contracts in camp with three forwards - Darnell Jackson, Jawad Williams and Rob Kurz - among the favorites to win the final three roster spots. That makes them attractive to veterans looking for a team.

Ticket info: The Cavs will put individual regular-season game tickets on sale starting Wednesday to their "Cavalier Insider" members. To become a member, fans can sign up at cavs.com. There is an eight-ticket limit per customer. All remaining tickets will go on sale Saturday, Oct. 3 at 10 a.m. Those tickets can be purchased at cavs.com, The Q box office, or by calling 888-894-9424. . . . Also, Fox Sports Ohio announced it will broadcast 70 regular-season Cavs games this upcoming season, including 34 home games. Its first broadcast will be Oct. 28 in Toronto. Fred McLeod and Austin Carr return as the announcing team.
