CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Cavaliers have an obvious need for a ball-handler capable of creating scoring opportunities for themselves and others. There's a candidate increasingly intrigued with potentially filling that void.

Soon-to-be unrestricted free agent point guard Mo Williams is "more than interested" in making a return to Cleveland, sources close to the guard informed Northeast Ohio Media Group.

However, due to their own pending powerhouse free agents, the Cavaliers will be limited in what they can offer. All they will have at their disposal is the taxpayer mid-level exception and the veteran's minimum. Williams is seeking a multiyear deal, and the Cavaliers and Hornets are two of the teams at the top of his wish list, a source revealed.

The addition of Williams and retaining their core group would be a sizable improvement for a roster that was two wins away from ending a 51-year major pro sports championship drought in the city.

Come July 1, the two parties are expected to communicate if Williams is open to the team's exceptions.

The 12-year veteran continues to play at a high level. In 41 games with Minnesota this past season in a reserve role, Williams averaged 12.2 points, and in his 27 appearances for Charlotte, his scoring output shot up to 17.2.

The 32-year-old put up a 52-point game in January for the Timberwolves before being traded to the Charlotte for backcourt depth and assistance in making a playoff push.

He played two seasons with the Cavaliers from 2008-10. Along with LeBron James, Williams helped the team compile a league-best 66-16 record in his first year with the franchise. He was voted an Eastern Conference All-Star that same year.

Williams and James have a great relationship, I'm told. If a deal could be worked out, I'm told the four-time MVP would welcome him with open arms.

I'd want him here, have been since someone mentioned him a while back. Not sure if Cavs have the money but he might take less to play with Lebron.
