<html>Report: Cavs offer free agent C Bynum two-year contract{eot}The Canadian Press7/9/2013 11:13:55 AMText SizeCLEVELAND -- has a new team waiting for him. The enigmatic free-agent centre, who didn't play a single second for Philadelphia last season because of knee injuries, is mulling a two-year offer from the Cleveland Cavaliers, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Cleveland made the offer, which includes a team option in the second year, during his visit to the Cavs' facility Monday. Bynum did not work out but the team examined him thoroughly. The person with knowledge of the negotiations spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks. Yahoo! Sports first reported Cleveland's offer and said it was worth $24 million. The 25-year-old Bynum had arthroscopic surgery on both knees in March, but the Cavs apparently are confident he will return to the form that made him one of the NBA's best centres. They're also counting on him thriving under Cleveland coach Mike Brown, who has returned to the Cavs after being fired three years ago. Brown and Bynum spent one season together with the Los Angeles Lakers and the 7-footer had his best year,M. e .ent elemoregonwhich ia hardthey would Da har, averaging 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds. Over the past four seasons, Bynum has averaged 14.7 points and 9.5 rebounds. Cleveland has competition in its pursuit of Bynum, who was scheduled to meet with the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday and is expected to visit Dallas on Wednesday. The Mavericks need a big man after losing out in the sweepstakes. It's not clear when Bynum will make his decision. The NBA's free-agency moratorium period ends Wednesday. His agent, , did not immediately respond to a phone message. The Cavs have already landed forward and guard in free agency and are looking to move up quickly. They would immediately vault into contention in the Eastern Conference with a healthy Bynum paired with All-Star guard and a roster that includes forward , guard and forward Anthony Bennett, the No. 1 overall pick in last month's draft. The Sixers acquired Bynum last summer from the Lakers as part of a four-team trade. Bynum, who made $16.9 million despite not playing last season,Cjakecontinentalpurchases angry birds publisher Cthey wouldinsideconsiderable amount, never got healthy enough to get on the floor with the Sixers. The Cavs would be taking a risk with Bynum that could have huge rewards. He would instantly raise their profile and probably get them back to the playoffs after winning just 66 games combined the past three seasons.
