[ClutchFans] The fascinating trade for Terrence Williams

I don't see how he is going to get playing time.. Chase lit it up last night and appears to be finally coming around... I don't see him sticking around for very long

 

please don't feel Don Fake Fan the troll. Just check his post history.

 

I'm concerned. Terrence Williams from what I've seen is not a team player and not good enough to be "the closer".

 

When talking about trades and such, I sometimes have an urge to forget what's best for the team and focus on raping the Knicks as hard as possible.

Im not sure why.

 

I don't know if the Knicks are as willing to sell out to get Anthony now given that they've shown signs of life, it doesn't seem to maake basketball sense for them as Kelly Dwyer explained a few days ago:

You mean Chase "Ole'" Budinger? If he's not hitting shots, he brings negative to the table. If Williams can keep his head on straight, looks like Budinger will take on the Matt Bullard garbage time role that he likes to talk about.

 

.

Totally agree with this. He is much to talented and skilled to be riding the pine. Like Morey said he's was a top 10 talent in the draft. Not the same with Hill, who he had much lower on the board. In all honesty Twill should've been drafted higher than Hill. He's now "our" 1st round pick if you can say and if a player as raw as Hill can get minutes from Adelman, Terrence Williams should be getting show too.

 

That's what I'm thinking. Finally we can get another guard who has handles.

 

Any player that can defend 3 positions a=well is automatically a good team player. I won't hold it against him that he isn't "the closer" just yet, as he's a kid and we didn't give up much for him either.

lol, you're worried because he's isn't "the closer"?

 

Really good analysis, especially this point:

Bingo.

I think in the near term, the trade makes the Knicks a little more desparate to get their pick back and seeing as how this team has been pursuing Anthony Randolph, I wouldnt be surprised to see another move involving the Knicks 2012 pick and Randolph along with a few other pieces. The pick was a chip that could have turned out golden, but at this point it means far more to the Knicks and their chances of getting Melo than it does to us.

 

I'm not so sure I want him to change it TOO much. Sure, he needs to show up on time and be a team player, but the one thing this team has been lacking since Ron-Ron, Ariza and Wafer departed is attitude.

I'm usually real big on having character guys and team players, and hate knuckleheads. But this year's squad is the first NBA team I can ever remember seeing that has ALL nice guys. Hell, we've got the nicest team in NBA history! And we all know where nice guys finish, right?

Williams gives us a much-needed injection of attitude, and I hope the rest of the guys don't give him noogies in the locker room and take him out for crepes and tea until he becomes a nice zombie like the rest of them. We need MEAN right now.

 

hopefully his spokes dont "blow" out like Clyde said last night

 

Big fan of Williams. Guy has some serious hop and All-Star potential.

He is the exactly the type of talent/player this team needed.

 

Nice College Mix

Or, he may not value Randolph that much to remove that protection.

 

Good catch on the Vernon Maxwell comparison. That's exactly what this feels like. Defense-first player that can explode on offense for huge production or shoot his team out of game, with a bit of an attitude problem. Picked up on the cheap because he had worn out his welcome with his previous team. Let's just hope that it works out as well.

 

Nice article Clutch.

But besides Melo.. there is no star or superstar comes to mind who may become available for trade before the dead line ..

 

you know this team needed a guy like this we have several all out hustle guys like Scola, Shane. Lowry, Hayes and all but need a little "crazy" now and then...crazy usually kills if there is too much of it but having a little bit can pay dividends.


i think shane said something along the lines of "having one donkey is not a problem and fun but having two is because then they start breeding" when the team acquired Artest.


good move even at a good price I feel the upside for this guy far outweighs the potential loss which is losing a lotto protected 1st round pick...


also i am not going to be that quick to write him off just yet his rookie year he played for one of the worst teams ever i am sure that can wear on you a lot esp as a rookie and then having avery johnson (who IMO is vastly overrated) as a coach who puts people in the dog house way too easily.

He has an opportunity to be part of a class organization with a HOF-type head coach I am excited to see what he'll do with it, will he take advantage and blossom into a great player for the team or will he continue to take the easy way out and end up being another "what a waste of potential and talent" guys

 

I liked everything you said in the article, the only minor disagreement I have is in Morey's ability to flip multiple assets for a star player.

I don't think there are really any worth doing that for, and I honestly feel the Rockets have far too many players now, and that it will cause some serious chemistry issues over playing time.
