[h2]Cavaliers Talk To Sixers' Williams[/h2]
Jul 31, 2008 10:02 AM EST
The Cleveland Cavaliers have had discussions with restricted Sixer Louis Williams, the Philadelphia Daily News is reporting.
According to the report, some of the Cavs' interest in Williams is a result of contentious negotiations with guard Delonte West.
Moscow Dynamo apparently did make inquiries about West, the former star at Saint Joseph's, but he has no interest in playing in Russia.

If the Cavs are thinking of low-balling Lou like Delonte, then they must be stupid.

The Memphis Game: The Memphis Grizzlies are the lone team in the NBA sitting on a meaningful amount of cap space, more than $14.6 million in space to be exact. The NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement requires every team to spend at least 75% of the salary cap, and that exactly where the Grizzlies are sitting right now, and do not look to be moving off that number any time soon. The Grizzlies roster actually looks pretty good on paper, and maybe that will generate some buzz for the Grizz at the box office, because the team is getting absolutely killed financially in Memphis. So much so that almost every expert in the league believes if the situation does not improve soon, Michael Heisley may try to move the team again. Somewhere in Vancouver there is a great giggle resonating through the Great White North. Heisley has tried to sell the team before, and found that after close examination of the books and the business that the Grizz are more than just a loser on the floor, killing the value. The Grizzlies got run pretty badly for trading Pau Gasol to the Lakers for virtually nothing, but the move was not about basketball, the move was entirely about getting the Grizzlies to the minimum NBA salary. The Grizzlies have been exploring ways to get even further below the minimum salary number; such as trading Javaris Crittenton to Orlando for Fran Vasquez's rights and a future draft pick. Vasquez counts against the cap and the NBA minimum, but no dollars have to be paid out. The Grizz were also said to be exploring ways to get a hold of Nenad Krstic before he opted for Europe in a similar cost cutting move, get his rights let him walk to Europe, get an additional $2 million off the books. It's fair to say the Grizzlies do not need to spend any money as their roster is set, but when you wonder why Memphis is not moving with its cap space, it's for a lot of reasons not about basketball.

I think he's looking for at least 5 million
But keep dreaming man, Lou ain't leaving Philly especially with the new acquisition of Brand.
And Stefanski said signing Dre & Lou this offseason a top priority
The Los Angeles Clippers signed veteran forward Brian Skinner, Vice President of Basketball Operations Elgin Baylor announced today. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not announced.
Originally drafted by the Clippers in the first round (22nd overall pick) of the 1998 NBA Draft, Skinner is a 10-year NBA veteran who returns to Los Angeles after playing 66 games last season with the Phoenix Suns.
Skinner should be a good back up behind Kaman and Camby.
[h1]Sixers, Williams agree on 5-year deal[/h1]

The 76ers agreed to terms today with restricted free agent guard Louis Williams on a 5-year contract.
Additional terms of the deal were not immediately known.
"It's a good deal for Louis," Merle Scott, Williams' agent, told the Daily News. "It gives him a chance to grow with a team that's building and allows him to stay with the team he came into the league with."
Sixers president/general manager Ed Stefanski declined comment.
Williams, the 45th pick in the 2005 NBA draft as a high school senior out of South Gwinnett High School in Snelville, Ga., appeared in 80 games last season and averaged 11.3 points in 23 minutes.
He averaged 12.0 points in the Sixers' six-game playoff run against Detroit.
