Lou Amundson signs one-year deal with Cavaliers
Lou Amundson signed a one-year, non-guaranteed deal with the Cavaliers, a league source confirmed. Although the Cavs’ rebuilt roster is filling up fast, the veteran journeyman stands a decent chance at making the final cut.
Amundson, 31, has already played for eight teams in eight years, averaging 3.6 points and 3.5 rebounds. But he is a gritty defender and could bring a certain toughness to the post. He’s listed at 6-foot-9 and 225 pounds, but the Cavs believe he can block shots and use his athleticism to defend at the center position despite being undersized.
Amundson’s offensive limitations have forced him to bounce around the league, yet the Cavs certainly don’t need any more scorers. They’re looking for options in the post behind Anderson Varejao at center and they’re impressed by Amundson’s per 36 numbers.
Although he has played sparingly at many stops in his career, he averages 10.1 rebounds and 2 blocks per every 36 minutes he’s on the floor.
Amundson has been in town the last couple of weeks working out and seemed to mesh well with some of the other Cavs players, one source with knowledge of the workouts said.
Amundson has already played with the Utah Jazz, Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, Indiana Pacers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Chicago Bulls (twice) and New Orleans Pelicans.
