Where we stand with Ray Allen and the Cavs

Cavalier fans have been waiting for the arrival of former Miami Heat guard Ray Allen ever since LeBron James announced his return to Cleveland. This morning, it was reported that an agreement between the Cavaliers and Ray Allen was a "done deal."

Cavs fans were excited to see another notable name sign with the Cavaliers. However, the excitement was premature, as new reports said that nothing was official between Allen and the Cavaliers.

Think a lot of us expect Ray Allen to wind up in Cleveland but early word this AM is that talk of a commitment or signing TODAY is premature

Reports of Ray Allen having signed with Cavs are not true, per league source.

UPDATE:

Allen's agent, Jim Tanner of Tandem Sports, released a statement regarding Allen's future: 

Amid continued rumors and having spoken with Ray today, let me be very clear... (cont. 1/2)

Ray’s position has not changed. Ray has not decided if he will play this season nor has he signed w/ the @Cavs (2/2)

Allen, who played in his 18th season last year for the Miami Heat, averaged 9.3 points per game on 44 percent shooting (37.5 percent on three-pointers), which was a career-low for him.

If Stein's report is true, then a signing could be imminent. But for right now, Allen is currently a free agent and enjoying his time on the links.

Cavs sign Chris Crawford and Shane Edwards

The Cavaliers are filling out their training camp roster, signing guard Chris Crawford and forward Shane Edwards. The Cavaliers announced the roster moves this morning on their website.

Crawford played in 140 games over four years at The University of Memphis. He ranks among the top six in school history for three-pointers (third), steals (fourth) and games played (sixth). He went undrafted in this years NBA Draft, but did appear in five games for the Houston Rockets in this years summer league, averaging 10.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 steals.

Edwards played two games last year for the Cavaliers, but spent most of his season in the D-League with the Canton Charge. In 46 games for the Charge, he averaged 14.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.0 steal in 28.8 minutes per game.

These signings officially bring the roster up to 18, two below the required league minimum.
