makes sense, Bogut probably will join him.

our chance of beating Cavs in ECF has dropped from 3% to 1%, doesn't matter really

This would be incredible by Utah do! Please do it Utah!

Unlike Jarret Jacks carcass or Jordan Farmer, Williams can still play playoff caliber basketball and I do not want him on the Cavs.

I would absolutely love this.  I'm so sick of LeBron-chasing vets.

Awesome, it's a two team league now between Cleveland and G.S. Maybe Danny knew there was no point to give up major assets right now to only get beat by a stacked Cav's team. Prices will be lower in the summer and then he can make some trades. How shocking all the buyout players want to run to Cleveland.

When he can play. Which is not all that often.

He could probably get injured less with a smaller workload. I hope Utah gets him

is he going to make amends by going back to Utah or is he going to Utah for a chance for a ring

He seemingly strongly prefers Cleveland, but it's not up to him.

how the mighty have fallen. Remember when this guy was considered a top PG and free agent at one time?

Assuming he clears waivers says he wants to go to Cavs who seen interested.  Guess the Cavs will get their backup PG.

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson

That's possible, but you're still bearing the risk of him breaking down in the least opportune moment.
