YAHOO!
Jason Williams, the once-flashy veteran point guard, has filed a letter with the NBA to seek immediate reinstatement into the league, an internal NBA memo revealed on Thursday.

If the NBA’s Board of Governors approves his petition, which was sent to the league’s 30 teams on Wednesday, Williams could become a productive free agent for contenders needing point guard depth. League executives immediately speculated that Williams could return to the Miami Heat, who he helped win the 2006 NBA championship, or the defending champion Boston Celtics.

Even so, the Los Angeles Clippers would have exclusive rights to Williams, but it’s doubtful in their losing and cost-cutting state they would want to do anything but negotiate a buyout with him.

Williams signed with the Clippers last summer, but retired before the start of training camp. After filing retirement papers in the preseason, he sent a letter to the league office on Feb. 6 and asked to be removed from the voluntary retirement list.

Williams needs a unanimous vote of the Board of Governors to waive a one-year mandatory waiting period to return from the voluntary retired list. Teams have until Feb. 27 to cast a vote, the memo said.

Williams played 10 years in the NBA, including stops in Sacramento, Memphis and Miami. He’s averaged 11. 4 points and 6.3 assists for his career.
Haha. I had a feeling he'd do this. It's like he foresaw the Clippers fiasco.
I wouldnt mind him coming back, but not the C's ugh

Its pathetic. Remember how Antonie Walker said he wanted to get traded back to the Celtics? How about Joe Smith saying he wants to go there now. How about you earn a spot on the team and then maybe get a shot at a title with them.

Detroit is in desperate need of a back-up PG. Please Dumars, don't mess this one up.

And I'd like to have him in Detroit, but if he has a say so he's going to Boston.

He'll sign with probably Detroit or a team like Cleveland who could use a backup PG.
