Knicks waive forward Williams 08.15.2005

Under the NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement, designating an amnesty tag allows a team to release a player and remove his contract amount from the club’s salary cap for purposes of calculating the luxury tax.
New York will cover the remaining years of Williams’ contract and the Georgetown product is eligible to sign with another club.
In 79 games last season with the Knicks, Williams averaged 4.5 points and 3.6 rebounds in 15.3 minutes. He owns career averages of 6.6 points and 6.4 boards in 587 career contests with Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and New York.
