Cavs sign Stith after physical clears him for camp
Cleveland signs veteran forward Bryant Stith to a two year deal pending a successful physical. Stith, who averaged 9.7 points last season with Boston, has a history of knee and leg injuries but the Cavaliers believe his concerns are behind him and view him as a possible starting shooting guard. Paxson also pursues a sign and trade for Chris Gatling, with Miami as the likely destination and a Dallas trade exception in play for Tim Hardaway.
