    Hmm, so who besides the Rockets and Mavs would be looking to make a deal for D-Will? And what potential FA locations would DWill be looking at with Howard already in LA? Any speculation?

    I think he wants to go somewhere in Texas or Florida. That gives the Rockets some good odds.

    If Howard doesn't end up in LA, these 2, I think, end up somewhere together. With or without Dwight, I could see him in Dallas.

    Not sure Houston is a fit for Williams unless its a packaged deal with Dwight. Maybe a homer but otherwise no real use for Williams alone. Already got Lowry.

    Exactly right. No hom(o)er. Williams does not upgrade this team when you already have Lowry. To give up Lowry and other players for Williams and pay him ridiculous money would be awful.

    Deron Williams has been stinking it up so far this year.

    Granted, he doesn't have much of a team to play with. And big-a$$ apathy might have kicked in: "What am I doing in this s***hole?"

    Hopefully, the real Deron Williams will please stand up. Right now he's making people wonder if he's 100% healthy---in the body, and between the ears.

    (Granted, if he were suddenly Howard's teammate, he'd probably look and play like an All Star again.)

    Come on. Williams is superstar with NBA Level teammates (not this Nets garbage), Lowry is not even an all-star yet. Love Kyle (no homo but How you could not love him?) but no way he's close to Deron's level

    It's like that rubbish GARM thread about CP3 vs KLow

    Don't fool yourself

    Or maybe you can't remember that this guy was in WCF as a sophomore, while Kyle played more than 25 minutes per game in playoffs just once in his career

    Superstar all-around PG that can score, pass and shoot at elite level will always make your team better

    Dwill is going to get you a lot more interest from other players, than having lowry.... so its not the same thing to have one or the other...unfortunately there aren't a lot of great players out there willing to move now. If DH is in LA, then we dont have any option, other than maybe Iggy. Iggy and Deron won't get it done.

    Come on guys... Kyle Lowry is having an amazing year but lesbianist D-Will is a bonafide superstar and arguably the games top PG. Don't let his talent getting wasted in NJ fool you.

    Uh, the Deron Williams is the league's top PG arguments left the station a few years ago; he's not in Rose/Paul class, a cut below it; Lowry matches his Utah-level production now at a much lower price point, with a much worse team around him than Willliams had in Utah.

    wut?

    Deron Williams had 50-40-80 season there, Deron Williams had almost 20+10 season there, Deron Williams led his team to a multiple 50 win seasons and he dominated our Rox in playoffs not once, but twice


    What's wrong with you all?
