Cleveland Cavaliers Should Have No Problem Retaining Derrick Williams
The Cleveland Cavaliers should have no problem retaining Derrick Williams in the offseason.
According to Basketball Insiders’ Steve Kyler, the Cleveland Cavaliers can sign Derrick Williams for up to $5.2 million next season using the tax-payer’s exception. Williams signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Miami Heat last summer.
I reached out to Mr. Kyler in an attempt to see what their options would be to re-sign Williams, as the Cleveland Cavaliers have been cash-strapped all season and with the new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) I was unsure what their options were.
