Cleveland Cavaliers point guard has made a complete 180 turn when it comes to his career. Previously, Williams said he would be returning. Now? Not so much.
As the defending NBA Champion Cleveland Cavaliers opened up training camp, general manager David Griffin began his press conference with 2 statements.
1. J.R. Smith will not be in camp.
2. Mo Williams is indeed retiring.
Following from Dave McMenamin of ESPN:

Williams had informed the Cavaliers that this season would be his last, but since then, he has definitely changed his mind. I’m not sure if it was Kevin Garnett’s decision to hang up his gear, but maybe Williams felt it was finally time.
