The Boston Celtics are interested in bringing forward Eric Williams back for a third tour of duty, holding discussions with the Cleveland Cavalier about a potential sign and trade, but at this stage the stumbling block appears to be Chucky Atkins.

The Cavaliers are interested in receiving Atkins back in return, but Boston is hesitant to give him up, calling him the best point guard they have got.

Williams has also been rumored in a sign and trade deal with the New Jersey Nets.
