Last summer, the Cleveland Cavaliers went outside of the continent to find their head coach.
Now, it appears that roster help could be coming from overseas as well.
Sasha Kaun, a 30-year-old center formerly of CSKA Moscow, has recently been in talks with Cavaliers personnel about joining the team this fall.
The Cavs purchased Kaun's rights from the Seattle SuperSonics during the 200 NBA draft following his four-year stay at the University of Kansas. After seven years overseas, Kaun and the Cavs may have mutual interest in bringing him to the NBA, Joe Vardon of the Northeast Ohio Media Group noted:
Kaun told the Northeast Ohio Media Group that the Cavs contacted him Wednesday with an invitation to join general manager David Griffin and other team personnel in Las Vegas this weekend to discuss the possibility.
