Cavaliers sign Derrick Rose to 1-year contractBy TOM WITHERS

CLEVELAND (AP) Derrick Rose has signed with the Cleveland 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.

The 28-year-old Rose now has a chance to compete for a championship alongside LeBron James, a fellow former league MVP.

A three-time All-Star and the 2011 MVP, Rose averaged 18 points and 4.4 assists last season while shooting 48 percent from the field with New York. Although he has been injury prone, Rose played in 64 games for the Knicks and in 181 over the past three seasons.

Rose has averaged 19.5 points and 6 assists in eight seasons as a pro.
