Milwaukee Bucks guard Mo Williams continued to explore his options and weigh offers from both the Bucks and Miami Heat during the first day that National Basketball Association free agents could sign contracts and teams could make trades.

"We've talked many times today," Bucks general manager Larry Harris said late Wednesday afternoon. "We're still talking."

Sources indicated that Williams was leaning toward returning to the Bucks on a four- or five-year deal.

Miami was said to have made the maximum offer it could as a team above the salary cap, using its full mid-level exception to try to entice Williams to join Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O'Neal.
