Cavs meet with Russian center Sasha Kaun

Cleveland front office personnel dined with Russian center Sasha Kaun Friday night in Las Vegas after he watched the team's Summer League finale courtside with LeBron James and coach David Blatt, among others.

The Cavs control Kaun's NBA rights and could pay him at least the veteran's minimum of $525,000, in addition to the roughly $1.3 million left of the team's taxpayer's salary cap exception, if they so chose.

They invited Kaun to Las Vegas to start the dialogue about possibly playing for Cleveland next season.
