Deron chose to go to the Lakers last season initially hoping to boost his value with Los Angeles's exposure, and maybe snag a championship.
But as everyone saw, he didn't get the championship, instead, he ended up in a mess, completely losing his value.
"He can still play," Hansen gave a definite answer.
From last season's finals with the Lakers, it was easy to conclude: Deron as a starter was easily targeted, but as a substitute, he was still more than capable.
Compared to now, his raw strength is definitely stronger than Williams.
This move would be a talent boost for the Cavaliers.
With Hansen's agreement, the Cavaliers subsequently reached a 2-year, 10 million, second-year player option contract with Deron.
An interesting thing happened, just as Deron reached an agreement with the Cavaliers, many Lakers fans attacked Deron on social media.
The biggest claim was that Deron had defected.
