The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed free agent Deron Williams earlier today. Williams who is a 3x all-star, is excited for the opportunity to play alongside his former teammate Kyle Korver and his Olympic teammate LeBron James.
“I just felt like this was the best fit for me,” Williams said. “It was a team that showed interest in the offseason in signing me. … I think my name was thrown around all season and so I know a lot of the guys on the team. You know playing with LeBron in the Olympics. I played with Kyle (Korver) and he’s one of my good friends and we still talk until today. I just feel like I’ll be comfortable here. I’ll have a significant role here. (Cleveland AP).”
LeBron James have said all season that the Cavs needed another playmaker, or a backup point guard. Now that they have Korver, Deron Williams, and Derrick Williams, this team will be very dangerous once everyone is healthy.
