The Cavs are pushing Andrew Bynum to either accept or reject a two-year, $24 million offer laden with incentives. The Cavs have begun to engage Andrei Kirilenko and Elton Brand in deals that could cause them to move on, and surely this article by Adrian Wojnarowski is one way for them to let Bynum know about that. The incentives appear to be reasonable items relating to games played and minutes, but the takeaway here is that the Cavs want to put him on a decision while Bynum and his agents are trying to find a one-year big money deal.

In addition to meeting with the Cavaliers on Monday, Andrew Bynum has scheduled face-to-face meetings with the Hawks and Mavericks this week. The Cavs aren't expected to offer more than a one-year contract, which could give an edge to Atlanta or Dallas if they're willing to take a multi-year gamble on the former All-Star center. The Mavs would likely have to unload Shawn Marion to make Bynum a competitive offer, however, and they don't seem inclined to do so.

Andrew Bynum (knee) is scheduled to be in Cleveland on Monday for a face-to-face sitdown. The Cavs and Mavs are expected to be the frontrunners for the injured Bynum. He is not going to workout for teams, which could limit his chances to get a multi-year deal. Cleveland already made a big signing with Jarrett Jack on Sunday and adding Bynum could make them a playoff team in the Eastern Conference. Obviously, the amount of risk associated with Bynum suggests he won't be getting a big contract.

The Cavaliers and Mavericks are "prime" suitors for free agent Andrew Bynum, according to ESPN.com, and the Hawks have also expressed interest. The Mavericks are "actively pursuing" Bynum, but they're simultaneously conducting "exhaustive" research into the history and health of his knees, which cost him the entire 2012-13 season. The Cavs aren't expected to offer more than a one-year deal, but it would be lucrative and could allow Bynum to re-establish his value and earn a hefty long-term deal next summer.

The Hawks have "given center Andrew Bynum some thought" in free agency, according to ESPN.com, but Monta Ellis is their priority. The Hawks have enough flexibility in their roster to accomodate Bynum, but there are no indications that they are seriously pursuing him. The Mavericks, however, are reportedly very active in their pursuit of Bynum.

ESPN's Marc Stein says the Mavericks interest in free agent C Andrew Bynum is "legit" and adds "they ARE pursuing him." After losing out on Dwight Howard, the Mavs are turning to Plan B. Bynum is a more than fine backup option if healthy, but no one truly knows if he is. He didn't play in a single game last year due to chronic knee issues and strangely said he won't work out for interested teams this summer. The Mavs' medical staff better make a more thorough evaluation than the Sixers' staff did.

The Mavericks and "several other teams" have been in touch with Andrew Bynum's agent. The unrestriced free agent would serve as a backup plan for the Mavericks in the event the pursuit of Dwight Howard falls through. Bynum won't be working out for the Mavericks or any other team and after not playing a single game last year, so he's not going to be any team's top priority. He and his agent will likely let other dominoes fall before trying to find the best match.

Unrestricted free agent Andrew Bynum will not work out for teams this summer. Bynum's agent David Lee said there are a "half dozen teams" interested and an MRI will be given to those teams along with other medical reports. Bynum didn't play a single minute last season after major knee issues, so it's understandable that he doesn't want to feel pressured to play. Bynum was expected to be a max-deal player at this time last year, but the health concern may have changed that. He's not expected to be back with the Sixers.

Updating a previous item, the Blazers are not interested in Andrew Bynum, according to GM Neil Olshey. This makes much more sense. As alluded to earlier, Portland's fan base would be in a bit of an uproar after the drama with Greg Oden's knee troubles. Bynum will latch on with some team ready to take a chance, but it won't be the Blazers.

The Blazers and Cavs are interested in pursuing Andrew Bynum during free agency. One would think that the Blazers would be a bit apprehensive in going after a big man with major knee issues after the Greg Oden fiasco, but if the price is right, it's not a bad idea. Cleveland has a nice young group on the perimeter and owner Dan Gilbert might not be afraid to take a chance to solidify their interior presence. Cleveland was 29th in field goal shooting last season, which is a strength of Bynum's game. The Sixers are extremely unlikely to bring Bynum back and seem willing to chalk this up as a mistake.
