Jason Williams, the once-flashy veteran point guard, has filed a letter with the NBA to seek immediate reinstatement into the league, an internal NBA memo revealed on Thursday.

If the NBA's Board of Governors approves his petition, which was sent to the league's 30 teams on Wednesday, Williams could become a productive free agent for contenders needing point guard depth. League executives immediately speculated that Williams could return to the Miami Heat, who he helped win the 2006 NBA championship, or the defending champion Boston Celtics.

Even so, the Los Angeles Clippers would have exclusive rights to Williams, but it's doubtful in their losing and cost-cutting state they would want to do anything but negotiate a buyout with him.

Williams signed with the Clippers last summer, but retired before the start of training camp. After filing retirement papers in the preseason, he sent a letter to the league office on Feb. 6 and asked to be removed from the voluntary retirement list.

Williams needs a unanimous vote of the Board of Governors to waive a one-year mandatory waiting period to return from the voluntary retired list. Teams have until Feb. 27 to cast a vote, the memo said.

Williams played 10 years in the NBA, including stops in Sacramento, Memphis and Miami. He's averaged 11. 4 points and 6.3 assists for his career.

Miami wouldn't be a bad look.
 
he should go back to the kings

Worst retirement ever. The most predictable comeback of all time. Dude barely made it past the all-star break before asking to get back in the league. Heshouldn't have called it a retirement, just a break.

No, I wasn't kidding, I'm asking, why does this matter? Was Jason Williams good or something? Did I miss somethin?

Last I checked he made a few pretty passes and bricked 38 footers alot. So him coming back is good..........?

I'm being serious.

What if he wasn't "good?" What's your point?

People can't be a fan of a non-superstar?

You've pigeonholed him based on his early years in Sac. Check his Assist-to-Turnover ratios since then (IMO the best way to measure the effectiveness ofnon-scoring PGs), he's always among the NBA leaders in that category... Hubie got through to this guy.

My point was simple. Why does this matter to the NBA?

Juan, I seen plenty of 30 footers from Jason when he was with the Heat. I don't care what his assist to turnover ratio was. Doesn't mean he'sworth *^#@.
