Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) – The Cleveland Cavaliers have reportedly come to terms on a two-year contract with center Andrew Bynum, who missed the entire 2012-13 season due to balky knees.<\/p>\n
The Cleveland Plain Dealer was one media source to report the agreement, which is reportedly for two years with $6 million guaranteed in the first year. The second year is a team option. ESPN reports Bynum’s deal is laden with incentives and could be worth up to $24 million.<\/p>\n
The Philadelphia 76ers traded for Bynum last summer, but he never took the court for his new team after spending his first seven seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers. The 7-foot center had arthroscopic surgery on both knees in March.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old Bynum had also been fielding offers from the Atlanta Hawks and Dallas Mavericks.<\/p>\n
He missed only six games in a shortened 2011-12 campaign that saw him average career highs of 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds, but he has played a full season just once in his career after being selected by the Lakers with the 10th overall pick in the 2005 draft.<\/p>\n
Bynum will play for Mike Brown, who was the head coach of the Lakers during the 2011-12 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
