As much as people make jokes about Cleveland, did anyone think someone would choose Russia over Cleveland?
Kenny Gabriel turned down an offer to join the Cleveland Cavaliers in training camp and to compete for a roster spot. Instead he will sign with Kuban in excess of $1 million, according to US Basket‘s David Pick.
Gabriel, 27, also turned down an offer from the Miami Heat to play for their Developmental-League (D-League) affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce.
The 6-foot-8 forward played college basketball at Auburn University and has made a living overseas, starring in Turkey.
