The New Jersey Nets have requested waivers on forward Shawne Williams, Nets President Rod Thorn announced today.
Williams was acquired on January 11 via trade from Dallas along with Kris Humphries in exchange for Eduardo Najera. Currently in his fourth NBA season, Williams has career averages of 5.2 ppg and 2.4 rpg in 126 games with Indiana and Dallas.
