Less than 24 hours after being out-rebounded by the Houston Rockets, 52-38 (20-4 on offensive rebounds), the Cavs have reportedly agreed to a deal with free-agent center Larry Sanders.

He will reportedly spend most of the rest of the regular season with the Canton Charge to get ready for the playoffs.

The plan for @l8show_thegoat in Cleveland is to practice w/Cavs & play for Canton D-League team for most of the rest of the regular season.

Goal is to have him ready to play for Cavs in playoffs. Completing physical this morning; will sign this afternoon.

The Cavs have certainly been feeling the loss of Kevin Love in the rebounding department and Sanders should help alleviate some of those issues.

Before the deal can become official, the Cavs would have to waive a player (presumably Andrew Bogut) and Sanders needs to pass a physical. Both issues are expected to occur sooner rather than later.
