When Derrick Williams walked into the visiting locker room in Oklahoma City on Thursday night, he officially became an NBA journeyman. The Cleveland Cavaliers became his fifth team during his six years in the league after he was waived by Miami on Monday and signed by Cleveland to 10-day contract.
Yet Williams and the Cavaliers are optimistic that the carousel may finally stop spinning in Cleveland. The veteran forward is getting his first opportunity to play for a winner, something he recognizes and cherishes. The Cavs host the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, which will mark Williams' first home game with his new team.
