The rich get richer.
But then again, he always seems to be injured.

Did anyone not see this coming?  If not Deron, than someone like Rondo.

If you had to guess at the start of the season that some quality vet PG would get bought out and sign with Cavs, what would you put the odds of that happening at?  Personally, I thought it was pretty good, which made LeBron's complaining for help a month ago seem out of touch.  Why complain about help in January when you know there's going to be better options who will want to sign with you available at the end of February?

i think with the Cavs, he won't be as injured imo, he will not be utilized the same way as in Dallas or the Nets. His usage rate will be a lot lower so hopefully helps

True, hopefully he stays healthy. On one side I don't want to see the Cavs get better, but I support anything it takes to take down the GSW Sissies

Latest news is he has cleared waivers and said he will be signing with the Cavs.


Williams negotiated his release from the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday after he wasn't dealt at this week's trade deadline. Williams, who cannot sign with the Cavs until Monday, will sign for the rest of the season for the veteran's minimum, sources told ESPN, which will cost the Cavaliers $900,000 in salary and luxury tax.
