Cavaliers' Deron Williams: To sign with Cavs on Monday

Williams will sign with the Cavaliers on Monday, Shams Charania of The Vertical reports.

Analysis:

As expected, the veteran will join the top team in the East after officially passing through waivers Saturday evening. At age 32, Williams is a shell of his former All-NBA self, but he's still a solid point guard and represents a significant upgrade for the Cavs, who have been forced to use Iman Shumpert as a de facto backup point guard for much of the season. Once he's up to speed with his new team, expect Williams to come off the bench behind Kyrie Irving to run the second unit.
