"Mo Williams was adamant last spring and summer that he wanted to remain with the Cleveland Cavaliers. After the disappointment of the Cavs' second-round elimination by Boston, through the uncertainty of LeBron James' whereabouts, Williams made it clear via the Twittersphere and otherwise that he hoped to stay right where he was as part of the Cavs' solution.

But now, after two dismal months? After a 1-14 December? With the NBA's annual trading deadline about six weeks away?

Same answer.

"It's still the same," Williams said before the Cavs faced the Chicago Bulls Saturday night at United Center. "Because I've got a lot of trust in the organization that we're not going to go backwards. Just a minor setback. We'll be back on top."

Williams, with a $9.3 million salary this season and a player-option for $17 million in 2011-12 and 2012-13, sees brighter days ahead. No cracks, please, about how one victory since Nov. 27 couldn't get much bleaker.

"The organization knows how I feel," the 28-year-old guard said. "It's been documented. I'm happy. I know the organization will do whatever it can to get this team back to where we all want it as fans, as players. ... I'm pretty sure they're going to make the right moves to better this team."

On that topic, Cavaliers coach Byron Scott said Saturday that one key is not making the wrong move.

"The one thing I love about [General Manager Chris Grant] is, he's not trying to do something right now out of panic," Scott said. "And then it ends up biting us in the butt, something stupid. He's really, really trying to take his time and makes sure whatever deal we do -- if we do a deal -- it's going to be right deal.""
