CLEVELAND -- As the Cavaliers await word from Andrew Bynum, two other teams have joined the chase for the free agent centre. Bynum, who didnt play a single second for Philadelphia last season because of knee injuries, is considering a two-year offer from the Cavs, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Cleveland made the offer, which includes a team option in the second year, during his visit to the Cavs facility Monday. Bynum did not work out but the team examined him thoroughly. The person with knowledge of the negotiations spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks. Yahoo! Sports first reported Clevelands offer and said it was worth $24 million. While mulling Clevelands deal, Bynum visited the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday and plans to meet Wednesday with the Dallas Mavericks, his agent, David Lee, told the AP on Tuesday night. Lee said there has been no decision made on Clevelands deal. He would not say if the Hawks made Bynum an offer. Bynum lives in Atlanta and could be convinced to stay home. "I dont want to comment about any ongoing negotiations," Lee said. The 25-year-old Bynum had arthroscopic surgery on both knees in March, but the Cavs apparently are confident he will return to the form that made him one of the NBAs best centres and a two-time All-Star. Theyre also counting on him thriving under Cleveland coach Mike Brown, who has returned to the Cavs after being fired three years ago. Brown and Bynum spent one season together with the Los Angeles Lakers and the 7-footer had his best year, averaging 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds. Over the past four seasons, Bynum has averaged 14.7 points and 9.5 rebounds. Cleveland would like to get an answer from Bynum as soon as possible, but the team did not give him any deadline. The NBAs free-agency moratorium period ends Wednesday. The Cavs have already landed forward Earl Clark and guard Jarrett Jack in free agency and are looking to move up quickly. They would immediately vault into contention in the Eastern Conference with a healthy Bynum paired with All-Star guard Kyrie Irving and a roster that includes forward Tristan Thompson, guard Dion Waiters and forward Anthony Bennett, the No. 1 overall pick in last months draft. Lee has said Bynum will be ready to play by the start of training camp. The Sixers acquired Bynum last summer from the Lakers as part of a four-team trade. But Bynum, who made $16.9 million despite not playing last season, never got healthy enough to get on the floor and the Sixers crumbled. The Cavs would be taking a risk with Bynum that could have huge rewards. He would instantly raise their profile and probably get them back to the playoffs after winning just 66 games combined the past three seasons. In giving him only a two-year deal, they would not be tying up much money which would allow them to stay flexible next summer when several top-tier free agents -- possibly LeBron James -- will be on the market.Wholesale Adidas Nmd Black .

We just talk about trying to win a Big Ten championship and a national championship and thinking big about what we want to accomplish this season.In the Big Ten opener for both teams, No. 4 Michigan (3-0) will host Penn State (2-1) on Saturday.The Wolverines need to win their first of nine conference games to move a step closer to their goal. Theyre expected to win by nearly three touchdowns after taking the first three games easily against Colorado, Central Florida and Hawaii.Here are some things to watch when the Nittany Lions visit the Big House:DELAYED DEBUT: Jourdan Lewis, one of Michigans top players, is expected to start at cornerback after missing the first three games with an undisclosed injury. The Wolverines will welcome the second-team All-American back to the lineup to help cut down on big plays. Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh praised Lewis for the way he has dealt with the nagging injury.The guy has been a stud, a real stud in everything hes done, he said.LACKING LINEBACKERS: Penn State has lost three starting linebackers to injury, including Nyeem Wartman-White, who hurt his right knee against Temple and has a second straight season-ending injury. Brandon Smith, a walk-on, has made the most of his opportunity to play.dddddddddddd Nittany Lions coach James Franklin said White played 57 snaps last week after playing just three in his career.Hes a great example of you never know in life when opportunity is going to knock professionally, personally, Franklin said.The inexperienced linebackers will face quite a test, trying to defend tight end Jake Butt.PIVOTAL PLAYS: Michigan has had success getting offenses off the field, letting opponents convert just 4 of 38 third downs, the best success rate in the FBS. The Nittany Lions, meanwhile, have converted a Big Ten-low 27 percent of their third downs on offense. Franklin said what happens before third down is the key factor.First and second down kind of tells the story for both teams, Franklin said. Tells the story for their defense. Tells the story for our offense.BALL SECURITY: Nittany Lions quarterback Trace McSorley has shown some promise in his first three starts, but has lost three fumbles and thrown two interceptions.Weve had multiple turnovers in each game and its something we need to cut out, McSorley said.GUESSING GAME: Harbaugh chose to start quarterback Wilton Speight ahead of John OKorn and Shane Morris, but he has played both backups in part to give opponents one more player to prepare for.Its a good thing to let your opponent know that a lot of things are options, Harbaugh said.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org-----This version corrects to identify a Penn State linebacker as Brandon Smith.
