Windhorst: Kyle Lowry Possible Target for Cavaliers

Who Might Take LeBron's Spot?

The Cavs need a small forward to replace LeBron James and that player might have played outside the U.S. last season.

Bob Finnan of The News-Herald writes: "Qyntel Woods, who last played for the Knicks in 2006-07, might be one of the best available. The 29-year-old played for Asecco Prokom Gdynia in Poland last year and was first-team all-Euro and first-team all-defense. He's a 6-8, 230-pounder who can score. Josh Childress is a restricted free agent, as the Hawks can match any offer he gets. He has a deadline of July 15 of whether he'll return to Greece. Two other options are Richard Jefferson and Ronnie Brewer."

Brian Windhorst of The Plain Dealer writes: "Cavs general manager Chris Grant knows Childress well from his days in the Atlanta front office when Childress was drafted. ...The Hawks have maintained their rights to Childress. But after signing several players to large contracts over the last two years, including a $124 million deal recently given to Joe Johnson, it isn't believed they are motivated to match a significant offer."

Windhorst also mentions Rockets restricted free agent guard Kyle Lowry as a possible target of the Cavs.

 

But why wouldn't he go to the Cavs if they're gunna win a championship before the Heat? :grin:
