Mavericks officially waive Deron Williams

Dallas Mavericks waive point guard Deron Williams.

What It Means:

The Cavaliers appear to be the favorite to land the veteran point guard. His fantasy value would take a huge hit in Cleveland as Kyrie Irving's backup. Meanwhile, Yogi Ferrell will take over the reigns in the Mavericks' backcourt moving forward.

Williams is averaging 13.1 points, 6.9 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 3-pointers per game this season while posting a -1.4 nERD rating, ranking him 349th out of 463 NBA players.
