Williams spent two-and-a-half seasons in Cleveland between 2008 and 2011. In 186 regular-season games for the Cavs, he averaged 16.2 points a game and 5.1 assists. He earned a trip to the All-Star Game in 2009.

Of course, quite a bit has changed since then, both with the Cavs and Williams.

With Williams in the fold, it could impact what they do with Matthew Dellavedova, who is a restricted free agent. According to ESPN.com'sYou do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now., Cleveland still plans on re-signing him.

If you look past the sentimental aspect of this deal, it's fair to question whether the Cavs would be better off with Williams. He shot just 39.7 percent from the field last year, and defense has never been a hallmark of his game.

With that said, J.R. Smith proved to be a very valuable member of the team almost exclusively because of his spot-up shooting. If Williams plays a similar role in 2015-16, he will likely erase any doubts about his utility to the team.
