The Phoenix Suns waived forward Scott Williams on Wednesday, freeing him up to sign with the Dallas Mavericks.

Williams' Agent, Arn Tellum, has assurance from all teams except the Los Angeles Lakers that they won't claim him off waivers.

However, the Lakers have shown no interest in Williams.

Williams is greatful to the Suns for letting go play for a contender.

"The Valley is home for me and my family," Williams said. "I look forward to coming back in the off-season and seeing everybody at Bank One Ballpark and Houston's (restaurant)."
