The Cavs have not yet set up a visit with Roy, said the person who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the sides are only in preliminary discussions. Roy, a three-time All-Star, announced his retirement last season after five seasons with Portland because of chronic knee problems. After sitting out the lockout-condensed season, Roy wants to try and resume his once promising NBA career.
The Minnesota Timberwolves and other teams have also expressed an interest in Roy.
Roy and his representatives have spoken to members of the Chicago Bulls' staff as well, sources told ESPN.com. Yahoo! Sports reported on Saturday that the Bulls were one of four finalists for Roy's services.
The 27-year-old Roy averaged 19 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 321 games. He was the No. 6 overall pick in the 2006 draft.
ESPNLosAngeles' Ramon Shelburne, ESPNChicago's Nick Friedell and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
i swear if we pay Roy some crazy amount without having even gone at a guy like Batum...
Jeremy Pargo, eh?
Heading into just his second season, Tristan Thompson is already thinking about a leadership role on the Cavaliers.
“I think I need to take a bigger leadership role,” Thompson said Tuesday while in Las Vegas for the NBA Summer League. “(With) Kyrie and myself coming in here we’ve got a lot of young guys so we’re almost like the veterans.
“We’ve got to come in here and show them the ropes, show them right from wrong, really build chemistry.”
Thompson plans to stay in Cleveland this summer to work with teammates and the Cavaliers coaching staff.

Unrestricted free agent small forward C.J. Miles has agreed to terms with the Cleveland Cavaliers, a league source told The Salt Lake Tribune on Friday.
Miles is expected to sign a two-year deal with Cleveland and compete for a starting spot during the 2012-13 season.
Miles, 25, drew interest from several teams during free agency, including the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas, Milwaukee and Houston. His growing bond with Cavaliers coach Byron Scott and the opportunity Cleveland presented him heavily factored into his decision.
"He's so happy," the source said.
The 6-foot-6, 222-pound Miles averaged 8.4 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists for Utah from 2005-12, playing in 389 games (159 starts). His best season was 2010-11, when he set career highs in average points (12., rebounds (3.3) and minutes (25.2).
Miles is expected to team with 2011-12 NBA rookie of the year Kyrie Irving in Cleveland's backcourt, while playing alongside young athletes such as Tristan Thompson, Dion Waiters and Tyler Zeller.
Cleveland topped Miles' list of preferred destinations when free agency started July 1. The seven-year veteran will now join a rebuilding Cavaliers club he "always wanted to sign with," the source said.
