Do the Cavs have 'Bird' rights for Kyle Korver, Derrick Williams? 'Hey, Joe!'

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Do you have a Cavs question that you'd like to have answered in Hey, Joe? Submit it here or tweet him @joevardon.

Hey, Joe: It was recently reported that the Cavs will have "Bird" rights for Kyle Korver, however you have implied they will not have the same for Derrick Williams. Can you explain the difference? -- Mitch, Fairfield.

Hey, Mitch: For the casual fan "Bird" rights in NBA lingo means a team is allowed to go over the salary cap to sign its own free agent.
