Cavaliers Match Offer by Heat for Williams
The Cleveland Cavaliers have matched the Miami Heat’s $26.5-million, seven-year offer for forward John Williams, the Cavaliers announced Thursday night.
By matching the offer, the Cavaliers’ payroll will soar through the NBA’s $11.87-million salary cap, limiting the ability to rework contracts of veterans or to sign free agents.
The salary cap can be surpassed in this instance because Cleveland had no control over the offer Miami made to Williams.
