Cavs sign G Lowry to offer sheet

07/14/2010 -

CLEVELAND (AP) -Looking to rebuild without LeBron James, the Cleveland Cavaliers have signed restricted free agent guard Kyle Lowry to an offer sheet.

Lowry spent last season with Houston, where he averaged 9.1 points and 4.5 assists in 68 games. The Rockets have seven days to match Cleveland's offer, which a person familiar with the contract said is for three years. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Rockets have not yet indicated if they will try to retain Lowry.

The Cavs sent out a release confirming their offer to Lowry on Wednesday.

James' decision last week not to re-sign with Cleveland put the Cavs in a bind. Because many of the top free agents were already off the board, they had to look at other ways of bolstering their roster.

The 6-foot Lowry, who was drafted by Memphis in 2006, is a proven defender. He could back up starter Mo Williams or perhaps move into the starting lineup in the future if the Cavs make another move this summer.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.
