The 6-foot-10 forward retired from the New Jersey Nets in 2000 following career-ending leg and knee injuries. ``He wants to play,'' said Cavaliers coach Paul Silas, who spent three seasons with Williams when he was an assistant with the Nets. ``We worked him out a little bit, and he can still play. He can certainly help somebody.'' </div> Source
No, don't sign him. He's nothing but trouble and wouldn't help us out. I mean, c'mon guys, he's a cold blooded killer. I don't see any team wanting him. If the NBA let's him come back, they're crazy...
I would love to see him in the league he was really good before he retired. he could do nothing but benefet the team. Also he is not a COLD blooded killer if he was he would not have cryed on tv and apoligized for it on tv he was drunk with a gun he is stupid not cold.
Dosen't look like we will be seeing him a Cavs uni... <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">No way on Williams The Cavaliers worked out embattled former star Jayson Williams this week. Though Silas has had a close relationship with Williams for 10 years and is hoping he'll get another chance in the NBA, there is no way the Cavaliers can risk such a move. First off, Williams is scheduled to be retried on reckless manslaughter charges in January, midway through the season. As it is, he's already been convicted of cover-up charges in the death of a limo driver at his home in 2002 and faces several years in prison once everything else is settled. A jury acquitted Williams of aggravated manslaughter in the shotgun death, but hung on the reckless manslaughter charges. Secondly, the team's chemistry is excellent right now and such an addition might alter it. Lastly, it is a public-relations nightmare and owner Gordon Gund has always been deeply concerned with the Cavaliers' image and the type of players on his team. Never say never, but this is absolutely not a move the Cavaliers need to make.</div> SOURCE: http://www.ohio.com/mld/ohio/sports/basket...10002785.htm?1c
The NBA already has a bad image we don't want to let this guy back in the league. And as for him crying on TV and apologizing, you dont know if that was a sincere apology... Also, I wouldnt let this guy get near Lebron. You dont want any negative influences on him.
