Derrick Williams may be traded today (Traded to Kings)

#blockbuster

 

Should have drafted Jonas V or Kanter...SMH.

 

This is a bit underwhelming. I don't even know a team that would be able to utilize him...

 

"I think I'm the No. 1 pick because I have more star quality I would think," the small forward said. "I'm just a bigger person. Just trying to fill in for a big star like LeBron like they're missing. That missing piece. I think that's me." - Derrick Williams

 

Been trying to trade him for 2 years now, not really sure why that 1% chance ends today. I doubt they will be able to move him until he's considered an expiring contract unless a team is dumb enough to pay him what he's due not just this year but next, or the T-Wolves are taking back salary in the deal as well.. which wouldn't really make a ton of sense to begin with.

A weekly Derrick Williams trade thread.

 

TWolve & Knicks- Only trade that works would be DWill/Barrea for Bargnani. Not really sure why this helps either team, but both players might be better fits with the other team. D-Will can get more opportunities with the Knicks, but man do they look small if they make this trade. Barrea helps the Knicks quite a bit.

TWolves & Sacramento- Chuck Hayes (reunited with Adelman) for DWill works. You could also add Freddette in if you are willing to throw in another player from the Wolves as well. If Chuck goes back to Minny... watch out for that Corner offense.... wheww...

TWolves & Utah - DWill & Barrea for Biedrins & first rounder- Utah might want to look at both Kanter & Favors both playing alongside a more mobile traditional PF. The twin towers concept in Utah might not be working out here as much as people expected, and their minutes might need to be staggered.

TWolves & Nets- DWill for Jason Terry & Reggie Evans. Saves the Nets a tad bit of cash, and gets them a little more athletic in the front court. You'd probably want to see him pair with KG more than Lopez, but can space a little bit when paired with Lopez to help him get space in paint. For Minny, both players fit well with what they want to do. Terry moves well without the ball, and can come off picks for easy jump shots. Evans gives them some nice muscle behind Pek & Love. Of all the potential trades, this one might make the most sense for both teams. Brooklyn gets a little more young and athletic while the Wolves get two vet players that help their bench out alot.

 

My guess is Chuck Hayes!

 

Derrick Williams should not be referred to as "DWill", especially when talking about Nets trading possibilities.

 

yeah RA loves his ex players, chuck is a good guess...but I'm not sure Chuck would be happy about it, since he's from Cali.

 

The suspense is killing me!

 

I cant think of teams that need Williams less than the Jazz and Kings. You'd think the Spurs might take a look.

 

Spurs would never want a player with such atrocious BBIQ and bad motor too.

 

Imagine getting traded to Minnesota at the beginning of winter.

 

He is a good player in the wrong system. He is 22, and a hard worker. I don't think a team can go wrong If they scooped him up right now.

 

Meh Jazz are just trying to find some potential pieces are they tank for Wiggins. If Derrick Williams turns out good, that's great, if not they lose nothing trying.

 

Undersized pf? Stay away Murray!!

 

I really think Rick Adelman brings the best out of his players and if he can't get Derrick Williams going, then I have no hope for other coaches...
