Byron Scott - C - Cavaliers

Byron Scott's interview with the Clippers on Tuesday "went very well," an executive told the Los Angeles Times.

That's a pretty banal statement and the same sentiment was passed along when Brian Shaw interviewed, so we're not reading into this very much at all. The Clippers have interviewed Shaw and Scott, and will now talk to Lionel Hollins and Nate McMillan regarding their open head coaching job. Donald Sterling will make the final decision.

Byron Scott - C - Cavaliers

The Clippers are reportedly choosing between Byron Scott and Brian Shaw to be their next head coach, according to Peter Vecsey.

Vecsey is sometimes informed, and sometimes a rumor monger, but we're inclined to believe this particular report. Donald Sterling is known to be a fan of Scott's, while Shaw has been on the Clippers' radar since initially firing Vinny Del Negro. We'd be surprised if the team hired Lionel Hollins or Nate McMillan ahead of either Shaw or Scott.

Byron Scott - C - Cavaliers

Bryon Scott will interview with the Clippers on Tuesday.

Scott has a connection with Chris Paul, but other than that it's hard to say who might be in the lead as the Clippers interview a handful of candidates this week. Brian Shaw, Lionel Hollins and Nate McMillan are also scheduled to be seen this week.

Tristan Thompson - F/C - Cavaliers

Tristan Thompson will be invited to the "Canadian equivalent" of Team USA's mini-camp, sources told the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

All the young Cavs players will have busy offseasons, and the competition they'll face at these mini-camps should only have a positive impact on their development.

Dion Waiters - G - Cavaliers

Dion Waiters has been invited to Team USA's mini-camp in July, sources told the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

This means Waiters will join Kyrie Irving and Tyler Zeller and all three young Cavs will be headed to the camp. We don't expect much out of Zeller and Waiters as they'll use it as a learning opportunity, but Irving should fare well against his competition. Additionally, Waiters and Zeller are expected to participate in Summer League.

Byron Scott - C - Cavaliers

The Clippers have contacted Byron Scott about their head coach job, sources tell ESPN's Chris Broussard.

Broussard's sources described the talks as "preliminary" because the team's front office is putting together a list of candidates to present to owner Donald Sterling. Jeff Van Gundy, Nate McMillan, Brian Shaw and Lionel Hollins are reportedly among the names on the early list. Warriors assistant Mike Malone has also been connected to the Clippers, but the Kings are reportedly very interested in Malone, as well. Both Malone and Scott have a close relationship with Chris Paul, who is likely involved in the decision-making process despite being slated for unrestricted free agency this summer.

Kyrie Irving - G - Cavaliers

According to ESPN's Marc Stein, both Kyrie Irving and Tyler Zeller will be invited to Team USA mini camp.

Irving is an obvious choice, but it's interesting to see Zeller get an invite as well. He looked overmatched at times during his rookie season and really struggled at times, but it's possible Team USA just wants to get a look.

Anderson Varejao - F/C - Cavaliers

Anderson Varejao (blood clot in lung) has been "working out steadily" since early May and he's expected to be ready for the Cavaliers' training camp.

Varejao also had surgery to repair a split quad muscle in January, but his quad has healed and he no longer requires blood-thinners for the clot. His name will undoubtedly surface in trade rumors once he's fully healthy, but Varejao is under contract for two more seasons and newly re-hired coach Mike Brown loves his defense and energy.

Mike Brown - C - Cavaliers

The Cavs are looking for a scoring forward in any deal for the No. 1 pick in June's draft, according to SI.com's Chris Mannix.

That's not much of a surprise considering the Cavs didn't get any offense from their small forward this season. Also, big men Tristan Thompson and Tyler Zeller each have fairly limited offensive games at this point in their career. SheridanHoops.com reported the Cavs would trade the top pick in exchange for Kevin Love, but we're skeptical for a couple reasons. For one, multiple reports have Love off the market since David Kahn was fired as general manager. Flip Saunders has been cozying up to Love in hopes of convincing him to sign a contract extension with Minnesota. Also, it's unclear what interest Saunders would have in the No. 1 pick in what's widely considered a very weak draft without any sure-thing franchise players.

Samardo Samuels - F/C - Cavaliers

Samardo Samuels will reportedly play in summer league for the Clippers.

Samuels signed a two-month contract to play in Israel back in April after the Cavs waived him in January, and he could never stay out of Byron Scott's dog house long enough to get a stable spot in Cleveland's rotation. The Clippers will reportedly give him a look to see if he has improved his game after a short time overseas.

Byron Scott - C - Cavaliers

The Clippers have both Byron Scott and Mike Malone on their list of candidates for head coach, according to ESPN's Chris Broussard.

Both Scott and Malone are known to have a close relationship with the franchise's star Chris Paul, so it's not a shock to see either name on the list. Scott was let go by the Cavs after the season while Malone has been an assistant with Mark Jackson on the Warriors bench and is gaining steam as a head coaching candidate for a few teams.

Mike Brown - C - Cavaliers

Cavs general manager Chris Grant said he's open to trading the No. 1 pick in June's draft.

It's been 20 years since the last time the No. 1 overall choice was dealt, but it might be Cleveland's best option in a draft lacking any sure-fire franchise players. At the very least, it's in Grant's best interest to at least create the illusion the pick is available and hopefully create a marketplace for it. Nerlens Noel and Kansas SG Ben McLemore are currently the two players most likely to be drafted with the top choice.

Mike Brown - C - Cavaliers

Phil Handy will join Mike Brown's staff with the Cavs, sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Handy was the player development coach for the Lakers, but he'll re-join Mike Brown now that the head coach is back in Cleveland.

Kyrie Irving - G - Cavaliers

The Cavs will "investigate trade options" with the No. 1 pick, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

As Windhorst notes, the Cavs have two first round picks, "interest in improving fast" and a fair deal of cap space, so Cleveland is in a good position after winning the draft lottery. It wouldn't surprise us at all to see the Cavs flirt with dealing the pick, but it's going to take a substantial offer to get GM Chris Grant to bite.
