    "We're Not Cancers"

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> MIAMI ? When the Heat won the NBA championship last summer, guard Jason Williams had a message for anyone with the Memphis Grizzlies responsible for trading him.

    "Bonzi Wells [now with Houston], James Posey and I are not cancers! We're not cancers!" Williams said in a delirious Heat locker room.

    Williams (knee) won't play in tonight's preseason game against the Grizzlies, but Posey returns as a champion. He remembers being traded away with Williams to Miami around the same time Wells was sent to Sacramento in 2005.

    "I heard a lot of things and really didn't know where they were coming from," Posey said. "I'm secure with myself and how I approached things. I wasn't a problem on the team, so to hear things like I was hearing was shocking. It was frustrating. It was something that I couldn't control so you suck it up and move on. It is good to go back as a champion."

    Posey built a special relationship with Jerry West and Hubie Brown while he was there. He was proud of what he accomplished with the Grizzlies.

    "This is a business and things happen," Posey said. "It put me in the situation to come here and win. I think that they appreciated how I played while I was there, and it is all that matters."</div>
