CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Former Canton Charge wingman John Holland will join the Cavaliers for training camp as a non-roster invitee, according to a team source.

Holland, who is 6-5 and 27 years old out of Boston University, was waived by the Boston Celtics in August. The Celtics signed him off the Charge roster in April -- he played in one postseason game for the Cs and didn't score. He averaged 16 points and 3.1 rebounds per game for the Charge, the Cavs' D-League affiliate.

The Cavs now have five players coming to camp as non-roster invites; the others are Markel Brown, Cory Jefferson, Eric Moreland and DeAndre Liggins. Camp starts with media day Sept. 26 and the first practice is the next day.

In the coming days, most (if not all) of Cleveland's roster players are expected to join LeBron James in the Los Angeles area -- Santa Barbara, if you're keeping score -- for voluntary workouts and bonding at James' invitation.

Meanwhile, the Cavs are renegotiating the contract of assistant coach Larry Drew, who is set to become head coach Tyronn Lue's chief assistant and associate head coach. Drew, formerly a head coach for both Atlanta and Milwaukee, is under contract in Cleveland for another season (his third), but the new role warrants a bump in pay, and the two sides are negotiating a price.

The rest of Lue's staff is under contract for the upcoming season.
