As the Cavaliers continue to explore options for filling out their roster, Cleveland reportedly has considerable interest in signing veteran guard Chauncey Billups.

The 37-year-old received a feeler from at least one team for an assistant coach role, but a meeting with the Cavaliers last week focused on using his talents on the court. 

Injuries limited the 17-year veteran to 19 games last season in Detroit, where he averaged 3.8 points and 2.2 assists in 16.3 minutes. The Pistons chose not to pick up his team option after signing point guard D.J. Augustin.
