Ok so maybe I should have checked this thread before starting a new one... Glad they are checking him out. We definitely need him more than B Jones at this time!!!! Believe
As long as he is waived by his former team by March 1, he can be added to our playoff roster. "Players have to be waived by March 1 in order to be eligible to be on another team's playoff roster. A lot of people get that wrong, including me. You can sign a guy on March 20 and he can still be on the playoff roster -- as long as he was waived by his former team on or before March 1." -http://info.detnews.com/redesign/blogs/pistonsblog/index.cfm?CFID=10336245&CFTOKEN=45569387 Williams should give us the defensive and shot-blocking presence inside that we need from someone taller than 6-8 (besides Mutumbo). His ability to finish will certainly be used a lot (like Landry) and he is familiar with the offense. The only real problem I foresee is that now we have 2 of our big men who are essentially incapable of shooting free throws (both Landry and Williams). How is it that Landry has a nice jumpshot from 16 feet, but can't ever hit his first free throw? Can we just back him up a little from the line when he shoots them?
