Veteran Cavaliers point guard Mo Williams will pick up his option for 2016/17, reports Chris Haynes of The Northeast Ohio Media Group. Williams will receive $2.2MM for next season, the last of a two-year, $4.3MM contract he signed with Cleveland last summer.
Williams faces a Thursday deadline to opt out and test the free agent market. Haynes writes that the Cavaliers have been notified that he intends to bypass that option.
Williams appeared in 41 games with the Cavaliers this season, averaging 8.2 points per night while shooting 35% from 3-point range. Physical problems involving inflammation of the cartilage under his left kneecap limited Williams’ availability. Next season will be his 15th in the NBA.
Has he played a min this Finals?
He got in when Kyrie went to get a drink lol
He’s played mainly the garbage minutes from what I’ve seen. But I haven’t watched every single minute of every game so its possible he played a couple more minutes here and there. Between him and Dellavedova, they give a good offense-defense type of platoon.
