Cavs sign Rose as possible replacement for Irving

CLEVELAND (AP) — Derrick Rose has signed with the Cavaliers, who now have a possible replacement for Kyrie Irving.

Rose is getting a one-year, $2.1 million contract from the Cavaliers.

The free agent gives Cleveland a proven player to handle point-guard duties if it chooses to trade Irving.

Irving recently told the team he wants to be traded despite making it to three straight NBA Finals.
