Cavs Waive Cherry

A bit strange because he was getting some good steals, and had few turnovers.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Cavaliers have chosen to waive backup point guard Will Cherry, a league source informed Northeast Ohio Media Group on Sunday.

The source spoke on the condition of anonymity because the team has yet to make an official announcement.

Cherry, 23, appeared in eight games and averaged 1.9 points and 1.0 assist.

To fill his void, the Cavaliers are bringing back a familiar face -- point guard A.J. Price. On Sunday Cleveland claimed him off waivers, another league source confirmed.

Price, 28, began the year as a member of the Cavaliers before being released on Nov. 1. The Indiana Pacers then picked up the veteran guard before releasing him on Friday.

Price found his scoring touch in Indiana, posting 10.5 points a game while shooting 39 percent from three-point range in 10 games.

With point guard Matthew Dellavedova still recovering from an MCL sprain, Price should see minutes right away to spell Kyrie Irving.

Price played in six preseason games for the Cavaliers and averaged 7.2 points and 1.5 assists in 13.3 minutes per game.

Funny they waive Price to bring Will in and they waive Will to bring Price back. Never really gave Will a chance but I hope his time will open a couple of doors for him.

I hate the nba.

Plays like this, this or the countless other examples where star players get away with almost anything make me not a big fan of the NBA either. Much prefer college basketball!

Hate the NBA all you want, but watch the Spurs play and you will see the best team basketball in the world. Period. I'd love to see Will on the Spurs but that lineup is so tight, there's no way they would pick him up, unfortunately. Be awesome to see him play for Pop and being able to work with Chip Engelland would give Will the edge he needs to keep him in the league for a long time. Ahhh, a pipe dream.
