Derrick Williams will either be traded or waived by the Heat in order to open up a roster spot for Orako White. To everyone's surprise, White has been on the floor in late-game situations and getting Williams' $4.6 million off the books this season would help Miami to avoid paying a couple extra million in luxury taxes. The only team reportedly interested in Williams are the Wizards but if he's waived, he'd likely go to a team like Utah, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Denver, Phoenix or Minnesota in order to help those teams get closer to the salary cap floor.
