Cavs Eyeing Marcin Gortat, Chandler Parsons

The Cavs are expected to make a run at Chandler Parsons and Marcin Gortat once free agency begins tonight, tweets Sam Amico of FOX Sports Ohio.  Parsons, of course, is a restricted free agent.

There appears to be mutual interest in a return between the Wizards and Gortat.  In fact, the Wizards are so intent on keeping the 30-year-old that coach Randy Wittman and senior vice president of basketball operations Tommy Sheppard are traveling to his native Poland to convince him to re-sign.  Gortat, who was traded to the Wizards in a surprising October deal, enjoyed a strong debut season in the nation’s capital, averaging 13.2 PPG with 9.5 RPG.

In three years with Houston, Parsons has averaged 14.1 points per night and shot 47.3% from the floor.  He’s proven himself to be one of the most valuable players selected in the 2011 draft, despite slipping out of the first round.  Parsons played more minutes than any member of the Rockets last season.  The Rockets presumably want to keep Parsons, but they also have their eye on bigger fish this summer.
