Destination
Mo Williams is the first mid-level player the Grizzlies have tried to get. Mike Miller coming back to Memphis is no surprise. Mo Williams' signing would be a better gauge of whether or not Memphis is a destination.
Veteran point guard Mo Williams will sign with the Portland Trail Blazers, his agent Mark Bartelstein confirmed today.
Williams’ decision ends the Memphis Grizzlies’ well-chronicled courtship that took place over the past few weeks. Multiple reports indicated that Williams’ deal with Portland will pay him $5.6 million over two years with a player option for second season.
Griz brass met with Williams late last month and the meeting went “great” by all accounts. It is believed the Grizzlies were only interested in a one-year deal that would have paid Williams slightly more than the veteran’s minimum of $1.4 million. The Griz still are interested in 31-year-old journeyman Ben Udrih with hopes of upgrading their backup point guard position.
Udrih, however, likely is pursuing a deal similar to Williams. Udrih reportedly has five suitors and is reluctant to accept a one-year, minimum deal. Whatever Udrih signs for at this point in free agency will represent a significant pay cut from the $7.3 million he earned last season with Orlando. Udrih averaged 8.2 points and 4.6 assists last season. He shot 44 percent overall and 33 percent from 3-point range.
The Griz still have other avenues they could travel for point guard help behind Mike Conley. The team could eventually come to terms with Nick Calathes, whom they acquired the rights to last month. Calathes and the Griz have until Aug. 15 to reach a buyout with his European team, paving the way to negotiate an NBA contract.
