With the impending signing of Drew Gooden and the addition of Scot Pollard, the Cavaliers have 16 players under contract. The team is also hoping to sign guard David Wesley, meaning that they will have to trim some players from their roster.

The most likely cuts will be newly acquired guard Eddie Basden and guard Stephen Graham, both of whom have unguaranteed deals.

However, the Cavaliers like Graham and would prefer to part with the likes of Ira Newble, Luke Jackson or Sasha Pavlovic, although team sources say no trades are in the works for any of these players.

The Morning News reports that the team not pick up Jackson's fourth-year option by Oct. 31, making him an unrestricted free agent at the season's end.
