It’s just the latest significant offseason change for the Cavaliers, who already fired head coach Mike Brown.

Williams played well with the Cavaliers from time to time but was inconsistent, especially in the playoffs.
The Cavaliers are busy overhauling their roster to try and retain LeBron James and build a championship team around him.
