He's one of the best P&R players in the league.
Imagine a more talented Delly running high screen and roles with LBJ.

He's had motivation issues. Before that, he was considered cream of the crop.
Other stats have been posted but he's still posting really good numbers on both sides of the ball

Additional data on Williams:
SportVU - Drives
6.0 Drives per 36 at 1.03 PPP
That's a really solid number given the frequency. Anything over 1 at a high frequency is a plus player and for a bench guy? Even better.
SportVU - Ball Screen Action - (This is where it gets good)
LeBron - 1100 screens, 48% FG, .93 PPP, 1.19 TPPP
Williams - 1100 screens, 47% FG, .85 PPP, 1.07 TPPP
Kyrie - 1300 screens, 42% FG, .84 PPP, 1.10 TPPP
Think about that. We may add a guy, for free, that is as effective as Kyrie in ball screen situations.
SportVU - Isolation Defense
Shumpert - 26% FG, .64 PPI, .81 TPPI
Williams - 32.7% FG, .72 PPI, .88 TPPI
Smith - 40% FG, .75 PPI, .90 TPPI
Again, really solid numbers. That's in the area of what Shump and JR give us in isolation situations and makes him a really solid pairing with Kyrie if we want to slot KI off the ball as a SG.
SportVU - On Ball Defense
Williams - 505 screens, 0.78 PPP, 1.05 TPPP, 41.4% FG
Shumpert - 593 screens, 0.86 PPP, 1.07 TPPP, 45.9% FG
Williams is a much better player than people think. I would be ecstatic if he ends up here. He's an upgrade from last year at the backup position and is a guy that will play in every playoff series. Getting that type of guy for free would be incredible.

Thats the thing.. yes theoretically some Team like Utah could claim him..
Yet he has basically said he wants to play for us.. no Team would want to anger him and his agent by denying a Veteran his chance at a Title..
Thats basically part of the NBA unwritten rules..

A little fuel for the fire. His passing, screen setting, and defense would actually be quite amazing for this team if healthy. And a vet with high bball IQ is always nice. It could be a great fit.
I'll consider this just the buyout/waive watch thread.
Not really an option for us, but I think Casspi will be back for the playoffs as he is only out 4 weeks or so.
Will be interesting to see where he goes.

And the under rating Bogut continues just because he isn't a hyper athlete
Bogut is one of the best passing 5's in the game. One of the best screeners in the game. One of the best rim protectors in the game.
But Larry sanders can jump higher. So he's got the higher ceiling

The Warriors definitely got better than they were last year.
But, now with all these potentially new additions. Derrick Williams, Deron, and hopefully Bogut. And being healthy (crosses fingers). We are without question a better team than last year too.
The finals should be fun once again.

For all of you Sanders supporters...interest around the league is not high.

He's barely doing anything physical for the past 2 years yet he's underweight? Uh oh.

The first question was a Celtics fan asking this. The Celtics would have no interest.
The only team that we've heard of that has any interest at all is us.
That said. I think our plans changed with Bogut, too. I'd still take both. But, I am not sure the Cavs think that way.
