Cavaliers' Derrick Williams: Will sign second 10-day deal

Williams will sign a second 10-day contract with the Cavaliers prior to Wednesday's practice, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

After Williams' first 10-day deal expired earlier in the week, it was initially expected the Cavaliers would wait until the aftermath of Thursday's trade deadline to decide the forward's future with the team. However, Williams' re-signing may indicate that no major roster moves are imminent, and the 25-year-old seems to have done enough to convince the Cavaliers that he'll be a dependable option off the bench the rest of the way. According to Jon Krawczynski of the Associated Press, there's been "every indication" that Williams will eventually sign a contract with the Cavaliers for the remainder of the season, something that teammate LeBron James has already endorsed. In his four games with the Cavs, Williams is averaging 9.8 points (on 60% shooting), 3.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.8 three-pointers in 23.3 minutes per contest.
