Well, maybe it wasn’t the NBA rumor that Philadelphia 76ers fans were looking for, but it’s something. According to ESPN’s Marc Stein, the 76ers have claimed point guard Mo Williams off waivers.
Williams started this season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, but the relationship between Williams and the Cavs was notably tense. The two sides struggled to come to terms, and at one point, Williams even threatened to retire.
Williams has had a wild January so far, and has gotten his wish of leaving Cleveland.

Williams was a moving piece in the trade that had the Atlanta Hawks sending Kyle Korver to the Cavaliers, where Williams was exchanged to Atlanta for Korver.
