The Bucks have a great schedule up through mid-January - the only 4 game week in week 1, and 10 4-gamers the first 14 weeks. Of course, this means they end the season horribly and they end the season with a 2-2. Cleveland on the other hand, has only 3 4-game weeks the first 12 weeks and has a great schedule for March and April. Williams's stats should be the roughly the same for the year as if he were on Milwaukee. He just now moves from a better beginning of the year play to a better end of the year play. And Sessions went from a late-late round sleeper/early season waiver pickup to someone more on people's radar.

If he stayed with the Bucks, he might well have lost a few minutes per game to Sessions this year. With the Cavs, I get the sense he's The Man at the point. My guess is that the "DJ and Ridnour are going to compete for the starting PG spot" talk is just PR, and Sessions is already penciled in at starting PG. They wouldn't have traded Williams otherwise.

Does anyone here agree with that? I mean, Ramon Sessions had 7.5 assists in 26 minutes. Now, Ridnour can be decent, but even Tyronn Lue is a better PG option than Damon Jones if you want to actually do something like run an offense.
