Cavs Look to Add Scott Williams

Sep 28, 2004 9:20 AM EST

Keon Clark may have been a no show, but the Cavaliers have moved on and are now expected to sign veteran center Scott Williams to a contract as early as today, pending the results of his physical. Williams is expected to sign for the veteran minimum of $1.1 million.

The news doesn't stop there either for Cavs fans, with the team believed to be close to coming to terms with ex-Net Lucious Harris. Cleveland is believed to have offered the sharp shooting guard a one year deal with Harris looking for a longer contract.

Keon Clark didn't show up for a scheduled workout in Cleveland, ending his chances of signing with the Cavaliers.

The Cavs now have their sights on free agent center Scott Williams, who met with officials from the organization in Cleveland several days ago. Williams, 36, has been a backup forward and center for much of his career. Williams, 6-10 and 260 pounds, won three titles with the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s. Last season, Williams played in 43 games with the Suns and the Mavericks.

Wagner Was at Risk for Kidnapping Says Lawyer

Sep 23, 2004 3:14 AM EST

Guard Dajuan Wagner and his mother were once at risk of being kidnapped, a defense lawyer told a federal jury.

The statement came during the drug trial of Wagner's stepfather, Leonard "Pooh" Paulk.

Prosecutors are trying to build a case that Paulk bought 20 semiautomatic weapons in 2002 as part of his involvement in a drug conspiracy.

His lawyer said Paulk bought the guns to "arm his family" and protect Wagner, whose mother is married to Paulk.

Wagner sat with family and friends in the rear of the courtroom watching the opening statements of the trial against his stepfather and three other men.

14 total people were arrested in March of 2003 and charged with running one of Camden's largest drug-selling operations.

The other 10 defendants have pleaded guilty, and the alleged leader of the group will testify against the defendants as the star witness at trial.
