CLEVELAND, Ohio – Veteran Russian center Sasha Kaun embarked on a mini-tour of Cleveland on Monday, league sources informed Northeast Ohio Media Group.
His visit was for the purpose of house hunting, among other things, sources said.
Kaun, 30, and the Cavaliers have yet to reach an agreement. However, "it's only a matter of time" before a deal is struck, according to a person with direct knowledge of the negotiations. The Cavaliers' main focus is on locking up a longtime pact with restricted free agent Tristan Thompson.
Kaun is to depart town on Tuesday and it is anticipated that a deal will not be finalized before his exit, I'm told.
