The Los Angeles Clippers signed veteran point guard Jason Williams to a one year contract.

Williams, 32, averaged 8.8 points, 4.6 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 67 games with the Miami Heat last season and will make the Clippers his fourth NBA team. He ranked eighth in the league last season in assist-to-turnover ratio.

By signing Williams, the Clippers basically eliminated themselves from re-signing point guard Shaun Livingston, who still has not been cleared for basketball as he recovers from a knee injury suffered in February 2007.

Livingston, who did not receive a qualifying offer from the Clippers after the season, recently turned down a reported one-year guaranteed deal from the team.

The Miami Heat have signed French international Yakhouba Diawara away from the Denver Nuggets today. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Last season, Diawara, 27, struggled with the Nuggets, registering an average of 2.8 points and 1.1 rebounds in 54 games.

The defensive specialist is a familiar face to the Heat, having played on the franchise's 2005 summer-league team. The signing leaves the team with 15 players under contract.

Donyell Marshall to the Sixers

Jamal Magloire to the Heat

Not sure what either of these guys have left to offer, but of the two I like the Marshall signing for the Sixers.
