    According to an NBA source, the Cavaliers are attempting to sign Scott Williams and Lucious Harris. Williams, who is in Cleveland today undegoing a physical, would add depth and experience to the Cavs' front court. If he passes the physical, he's expected to sign a 1 year contract with the Cavs, likely for the veteran's minimum of $1.1 million. Harris, who was waived by the New Jersey Nets this month, is believed to want a longer pact than the one year contract the Cavs are offering him, but is reportedly close to closing the deal.

    I think Lucious will be a great addition for the Cavs. He will be an offensive spark plug. I guess the Cavs could use some veterans, but that is the only reason why I see them signing Williams. Williams hasn't really made a major impact on a team in a few years.

    Scott Williams? [​IMG] We're talking about the Scott Williams who used to play with the Bulls? [​IMG]

    I can understand Harris, he makes some sense to me. But Williams hasn't done anything of substance in years. If they want a big guy(PF), they should look to sign Fizer. I don't see Williams helping on the court at all, only in the lockerroom.

    Williams is a great guy to have in the locker room, leadership be a mentor to the young guys, he did a good job with Amare in his rookie year.

    No doubt that Scott Williams is a good lockerroom guy, but I just don't see the sense in spending the vet's minimum on a guy who likely won't be able to give you anything on the court.

    I just think the Cavs would be better off signing someone who can fill roles both on and off the court, that's all.

    Great additions, less PT for D-Wag. I would've taken Clark over Scott Williams tho..

    Williams & Diop will split time.. and plus Diop is awful, they are looking to move him anyways.

    Cavs are going to be very good this year! what they were missing was a 2nd unit to give the starters a break. The 1st unit had to come in to fast in every game, with no rest which destroy the playoff run last year

    We tried to get Keon Clark but he didn't show up for his workout.
