Cavaliers interested in Barnes
The Cleveland Cavaliers are making a strong push for free agent defensive stopper Matt Barnes.
The Cavaliers really like Barnes’ toughness and ability to get after people on the defensive end of the floor.
He really increased his stock over the past couple of seasons with how well he played for Orlando.
The Celtics and Heat remain the favorites to land Barnes, but he is interested in the playing time he could find in Cleveland.
The Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks and New York Knicks are also interested in Barnes.
