Jamison, the 36-year old journeyman played with the Cleveland Cavaliers the last two seasons, averaging 17.2 points and 6.3 rebounds a game during the 2011-12 campaign, starting all 65 regular season games for the Cavs. He'll be joining a rebuilding bench mob as well as serve as some back up when, and , or if a deal for Andrew Bynum or Dwight Howard goes down.
The Cavs are seen as a likely third-party to a Dwight Howard deal with the Magic, though it remains unclear whether this deal is related to that at all.
