The Cleveland Cavaliers now have 14 feet worth of Russian center.

The team agreed to a two-year deal with 30-year-old Alexander “Sasha” Olegovich Kaun Saturday. Kaun becomes the Cavs’ second Russian seven footer, joining Timofey Mozgov. David Pick of RealGM was first with the news, with ESPN’s Brian Windhorst confirming and adding that the second year is a player option.
