It came from a friend of the coaching staff. No Surprise. Mo was upset all year about losing time to Delly.

Wow!
He should have been upset ...
... with himself.
Dunno, now that Mo is gone we're hearing crap about him. Don't much like that.
Let's just hope he isn't Ironborn and comes back from the fire...
But the swing line staplers... They are better than the Boston Staplers.... If they take my stapler I set the building on fire....

Cavs actively shopping Mo Williams after reaching impasse
TheCleveland Cavaliers are in impasse with guard Mo Williams and it's left them scouring the league to trade him or face swallowing millions, sources told ESPN.com.
Williams is owed $2.2 million for this season and he did not report to training camp, his agent informing the team on the first day of the season. The Cavs, who were caught off guard by the decision, have been unable to have any meaningful discussions with Williams on a buyout agreement, sources said.
Williams has not filed retirement paperwork with the league.
Needing both a roster spot and a backup point guard, the Cavs are in a squeeze as the regular season opener looms. They are looking to attach guardJordan McRaeto Williams in trades, sources said. The team openly showcased McRae during the preseason and he led the team in scoring at 14 points a game.
If the Cavs waive Williams now to create a roster spot, Williams would receive his full salary and the Cavs would have to pay the full tax amount. Currently, the Cavs are projected to have a $32 million tax bill.
The Cavs faced an Aug. 31 deadline to waive and stretch Williams' deal over three years. They did not, believing Williams was considering playing out the deal. Had they waived him, the team would've been able to save $4.5 million in luxury tax.
The Cavs have the option of suspending Williams and not paying him, his first paycheck is not due until Nov. 15. But team suspensions do not affect the salary cap and they would still be taxed on the full salary. There also could be a lengthy legal process that would follow. Meanwhile, Williams would use a roster spot.
Williams vacillated on retirement during the summer, sending mixed signals. On Sept. 22 he told ESPN's Dave McMenamin he planned to play this season.
The Cavs attempted to get medical updates from Williams but were unable to do so.
Williams had left knee surgery earlier this month on Oct. 12 and appeared to criticize the team for not looking out for his health in a social media post.
Williams got three opinions on his knee when he had pain last season. One from Cavs orthopedist Dr. Richard Parker, one from Dr. James Andrews and one from Dr. David Altchek. Williams had a PRP procedure during the year after consulting with Dr. Andrews. Dr. Altchek performed the surgery.
Williams averaged 8.2 points and 2.4 assists in 41 games last season. He appeared in 13 playoff games, six of them in the Finals.

This is such a weird situation, Mo went from looking out for the teams future with working out with Felder in the summer then won't even talk to them now. I understand his frustration with the medical staff, maybe the front office can do something to fix this situation by letting someone go or having them apologize to Mo.
Does anyone know how long the recovery time is for this type of surgery?

That situation is fucked up, obviously the best situation would have been to match Delly and try to trade Shumpert when his value is high but now, what do we do?
I really don't want to include McRae in any deal that involved Mo.
