I’m told Williams asked for this move. Wants to play in the east, closer to some business interests in the US. Unlikely BC could have hung onto him after his rookie deal ended following the coming season. This replaces the 1st round pick they gave up in the Vernon Adams trade https://t.co/XiKd7Brt6t
