This signing would be purely for insurance purposes. Coach David Blatt has shown to play his starters heavy minutes. The Cavs currently have a big man rotation of Timofey Mozgov, Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson. LeBron James occasionally plays the four along with one other big when they decide to go to a small lineup. Perkins may see limited minutes in the playoffs when the games slow down and become the grind-it-out type. Perkins has no offensive game but will provide a veteran, physical, defensive prescence and be a solid back-up plan in case they lose another big (Anderson Varejao) to injury.
