Davis Angling for Gig with Cleveland
Tuesday, Jan. 31
According to USA Today's Sam Amick, Davis "is known to covet the job and insists he could do it well so long as he had two weeks to get into tip-top shape."
It's unclear if the Cavaliers have reciprocal interest in Davis, who last suited up on the NBA hardwood with the New York Knicks during the 2011-12 season.
Since then, the 13-year vet has largely been out of the game.
However, he did initiate something of a comeback attempt last year, when he suited up for six D-League games with the Delaware 87ers. In 22.5 minutes a night, Davis averaged 12.8 points, 3.5 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 2.0 turnovers while shooting 35.5 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from three.
Based on those mediocre numbers and the fact that he'll be 38 years old in April, it's hard to envision the Cavaliers opting for Davis over younger, more intriguing free-agent options.
Specifically, the Cavs are reportedly set to host a workout featuring Kirk Hinrich, Mario Chalmers and Lance Stephenson on Wednesday, according to ESPN.com's Chris Haynes.
