The Cleveland Cavaliers appear primed to add significant reinforcements to their stretched-thin roster, and they barely need to lift a finger.

Already set to sign point guard Deron Williams now that he's cleared waivers, the Cavs are also expected to land center Andrew Bogut once he reaches a buyout agreement with the Philadelphia 76ers, sources told ESPN's Tim MacMahon.

The Mavericks salary-dumped Bogut on the Sixers in the Nerlens Noel trade on deadline day. The Sixers subsequently tried and failed to find a trade destination for Bogut, and once the deadline passed they commenced buyout talks.

The 32-year-old has struggled with injuries this season, and appeared in just 26 games for the Mavs. He averaged three points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and a block in 22.4 minutes.

The San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets have also reportedly shown interest in signing Bogut
