    Trading a first round pick for Terrence Williams, and NOT clearing out some roster space to give him a legitimate chance, was a MAJOR failure on Daryl Morey's part, a freaking disaster. You can't help but wonder what would happen If the guy was fed 36 minutes a night, every single night.

    I understand and acknowledge that Terrence Williams is an idiot, but it was not I that paid the price for him.

    Get rid of these soft shooting guards already.

    Completely agree! Was there another reason for the move? Did it clear up space for us or something??

    Yeah, it really was a boneheaded move by Morey. I honestly think that Williams could contribute off the bench but he's not given the chance. Morey has stockpiled so many "assets" that good players don't even get playing time.

    I don't think that means what you think it means.

    Johnny Flynn is a professional. I hope he retires a Hornet.

    I'm trying to remember why we traded for Terrence Williams.

    I don't even think Morey remembers.

    He was a possible triple double threat.
    Everybody thought he would be a consistent scorer off the bench.

    He hasn't shut down anybody. Didn't score the way he did in Jersey.

    One of his biggest mistakes. Getting him for a mid-late 1st rounder... ok... no problem with that, but failing to free up space for him when you invested our 1st rounder on him is all on the GM. A complete ****ing waste.

    Wow! What words by twill! I really wish things would've worked out here for him..I think they should've givin him minutes at the point and shooting guard spot where he would've had significant strength advantage...his combination of strength, speed, and athleticism are very rare! He has a superstar mentality and just think how if we gave him a chance and he showed his talent there is no doubt that he could pull another big name here but anyways doesn't matter now...

    Not too late. Free T-Will.

    …is the stupidest thing to claim. The opportunity is not to be given. He should have earned it. Everyone is doing so.
    Or just let him go and free him for true meaning.

    Sometimes the easiest things seemed to be really hard.

    That guy had super athleticism, could blow by people.
    If only he had developed a consistent jumper, there would be no question.

    One J away from the promised land.

    Of course his tweets were a distraction with not only Adelman.

    I remember before we traded for him, he was sent down to the D-league by the Nets as a punishment for poor behaviour. Wasn't that already a sign to not get him? :rolleyes:

    Triple double in the Dleague did not actually translate to good overall numbers in the NBA.

    Terrence had a triple double against the Bulls too, not just against d-league players. None of us know why exactly Morey traded for Williams. It makes no sense because it looks like we just wasted a pick. I'm sure Morey had something in mind for Terrence.. but nothing happened. I think it is clear that Adelman wasnt too fond of Terrence, and for McHale.. Terrence just got the short end of the stick, like Morris did.

    I would love for the front office to make an effort to keep Terrence, but only if he actually gets minutes. Even if it's just 10-12 minutes. I dont think Terrence played a game where he has been 100 percent in a year or so.

    This sucks. Feels bad.
