"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Portland has reached a buyout agreement with forward Shawne Williams and he will become an unrestricted free agent, SI.com has learned.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 6-foot-9 small forward was a key reserve for the Knicks during the 2010-11 season, but he opted against re-signing with New York last December in favor of signing a two-year, $6.1 million deal with New Jersey. Williams was traded to the Blazers in mid-March as part of the deal that gave the Nets small forward Gerald Wallace, but Williams never played for Portland.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Williams was drafted No. 17 overall by the Pacers in 2006. He has averaged 5.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 16.4 minutes per game for his career.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
