Cavaliers 'Close' To Acquiring Marvin Williams From Hawks

In a deal that has been talked about for days, the Cavaliers look to be on the verge of a sign-and-trade deal with the Atlanta Hawks involving Shaquille O`Neal and Marvin Williams. The Cavs have had interest in Williams for some time - the connection being Cavaliers G.M. Chris Grant, who was in Atlanta when they drafted Williams.

			FG			3PT			FT			Rebounds			Misc

2009 - Marvin Williams	81	30.5	3.7	8.2	45.5	0.5	1.6	30.3	2.2	2.7	81.9	1.3	3.8	5.1	1.1	0.9	0.8	0.6	2.0	10.1

Shaq has been looking around for a solid offer - starting above the mid-level exception - but so far has had no luck. A sign-and-trade is his best chance at a decent contract and the Hawks are a team trying to win now after signing Joe Johnson to a max-contract in the off-season.

Awesome stuff!!!

Good trade for both teams since Cavs need a good SF and the Hawks need a C to move Al Horford to the PF position.

Mo Williams Dan Gibson
Delonte West Anthony Parker
Marvin Williams Jamario Moon
Antwan Jamison
Anderson Varejao JJ Hickson

Seems like a great team to me as long as B. Scott can get them playing good defense.

awesome stuff

rather see moon replace Parker & dont forget Green. JJ can backup Jamison & jawad Williams to backup Marvin Williams. Like Andy starting, but need taller ,7’ for backup center. Think should give Telfar a shoot. Looked good the lil he played last year. Think he’d be more consistant than Mo, more rebounds & assists. Just my opinion but like to hear what others think of this lineup. GO CAVS !!
