The NBA plans to speak to the representatives of shooting guard Patrick McCaw on Thursday, according to Mark Medina of the Mercury News.
The Golden State Warriors reportedly asked the league to investigate the Cleveland Cavaliers' signing and waiving of McCaw, who reportedly signed with the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday.
The NBA has continued its formal review into Cleveland signing McCaw to a two-year, $6 million deal and subsequently waiving him three days later before his contract would become guaranteed.
The league plans to speak to McCaw’s representatives on Thursday to probe into if McCaw and the Cavaliers reached an agreement to waive him so he could become an unrestricted free agent, sources said.
The Warriors are of the belief that Patrick McCaw and the Cavs had an agreement which could constitute as collusion. McCaw was a restricted free agent with the Warriors. He signed a non guaranteed offer sheet with the Cavs and Golden State didn't match it.
McCaw only played in three games with the Cavs before Cleveland waived him. After clearing waivers, McCaw decided to join the Raptors for a deal worth only $786,000.
The Raptors aren't involved in the investigation. The Cavs could be fined or lose a draft pick if they are found guilty of any wrong doing, although it's going to be hard for the NBA to make a case that Cleveland did something illegal.
