Free Agent Guards Mo Williams, Delonte West Drawing Interest From Contenders

Veteran point guard Mo Williams is reportedly drawing interest from three championship-caliber teams and could be signed right away this week once free agent center Greg Oden announces his decision.

Williams, 30, surprisingly remained unsigned entering the fourth week since the free agent period started. However, talks for the veteran guard are expected to intensify this week following Oden's free agency decision on Monday.

Basketball insiders, including Paul Garcia of Project Spurs, think the former All-Star is a back-up plan for the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs if their negotiations with the returning big man don't work out. Mark Stein of ESPN reported the Memphis Grizzlies are also in the mix to sign the veteran.

Drafted 47^th overall by the Utah Jazz in 2003, Williams crafted a solid career that led him to an appearence in the 2009 All-Star game. Mo has averaged 13.8 points and 5.0 dimes over 10 NBA seasons.

Last season, Williams reunited with the Jazz, but injuries kept him from making a big impact on the team.

Delonte West, Williams' former teammate during his time with the Cleveland Cavaliers, could find himself back in the NBA with two ball clubs showing interest for the guard.

West averaged 9.6 points and 3.2 assists in his final tour of duty in the NBA before he was cut by the Dallas Mavericks prior to the start of the 2012-2013 season.

Currently, both The Grizzlies and the New York Knicks are interested in West, who's an underrated player with postseason experience. The free agent averaged 9.7 points and 3.6 dimes over eight NBA seasons.
