Latest on Farmar's Workout with Cavaliers
Friday, Feb. 3
Dave McMenamin of ESPN reported Farmar was told if the Cavaliers were planning to sign anyone from Wednesday's workouts, it would be him, and added the veteran is willing to sign a 10-day contract with the team.
On Thursday, Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com, citing a source, reported Farmar impressed the Cavs during his workout.
Chris Haynes of ESPN.com first reported on Jan. 31 the Cavaliers would also host Kirk Hinrich, Mario Chalmers and Lance Stephenson for a workout.
Farmar Would Provide Depth to Cavaliers' Bench
Farmar began the 2016-17 campaign with the Sacramento Kings, but the team waived him only two weeks into the regular season. He appeared in just two games, scoring 12 points in 35 minutes.
The 30-year-old was a first-round pick for the Los Angeles Lakers in 2006 and spent the first four seasons of his career with the team. While he rarely put up big numbers, he was a valued member of the rotation while helping bring home NBA titles in 2009 and 2010.
From there, he moved on to the then-New Jersey Nets, where he became more of an offensive presence while averaging 9.9 points and 4.4 assists per game in two seasons.
Over the last few years, Farmar hasn't been able to find consistent playing time. After being out of the NBA during the 2012-13 season, he bounced around to the Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies and most recently the Kings.
Despite his recent struggles, Farmar is a veteran performer with plenty of experience in both the regular season and the playoffs. His ability as a passer and an outside shooter could make him a useful addition to a contender this season.
