Cavaliers Pursuing Warrick

On Twitter, Marc Stein writes about the Cavs' pursuit of the unrestricted free-agent Hakim Warrick. The Bucks are also interested and may devote their resources to signing Warrick rather than matching any offer sheet Ramon Sessions signs with the Knicks.

Stein implies that this free-agent jockeying is prelude to the much-anticipated summer of 2010.

The Bucks have the ability to outbid Cleveland for Warrick if they wish, since the Bucks still have most of their mid-level exception while the Cavs have already signed Anthony Parker and Jamario Moon using almost all of their MLE.

But if the Cavs are able to lure Warrick to Cleveland, the Bucks may consider matching the Knicks' offer sheet, preventing Sessions from landing in New York.
