    those are some weak-ass welts. maybe it's because I'd get like 80 of them (due to my superior playing skills, obviously), but mine were like the size of golf balls, lol.

    The only people who worry about his twitter this much are fans. If a team truly wanted him, they'd go after him.

    "we really like player A but the only reason we don't want him is because of his tweets!" :rolleyes: Let's add "tweets" to the list of intangibles for players alongside shooting, defense and rebounding.

    Your both right and wrong at the same time here.


    Take a look at the timeframe right now for Terrence. He's going into Unrestricted Free Agency.

    -Any GM looking to sign Terrence over the summer will look at Is This Player Worth Investing In?

    When offering a contract they will look at all factors. Personality and character included. Publicly disgruntled players + long term contracts = GM getting fired. Given Terrence's history he is looking at a short term low risk contract to get his career back on track. Teams will have a high level of interest in signing him but he will never be able to get the contract that most good players get after their rookie contract has expired.

    Case in Point, Nate Robinson. Alot of teams really value what he brings to the basketball court, but no NBA team would be willing to make a significant long term investment into a long term contract. That "Label" has cost Nate Robinson stability in a franchise role and a good deal of money.

    Same will go with Terrence. His public bashing of his employer surely did not go unnoticed, and GM's talk to one another. There is little doubt that GM's and coaches in the league want this guy in their lockeroom unless he is kept on a leash.

    Is Terrence going to play again, of course. He might even play a role on a contending team. Is he going to get a long term contract worth Millions... no. His agent should fire himself if he hasnt already. Terrible management of his client, and he is costing himself alot of money in the process, and team stability just so he can "vent" to his fans on the internet.

    Twitter is cool, but its not worth what its cost Terrence and many other professional athletes who have used it this unwisely.

    You're assuming that his agent has a lot to do with his client's predicament. My guess is that Williams ignores whatever his agent says, in the main, and that his agent wishes he'd never taken on the guy. The problems Williams has, again this is my opinion, are entirely of his own making. He seems incapable of realizing that. That's his problem. And Twitter doesn't have anything to do with his problems, either. It simply exists. If Williams posts garbage that makes himself look foolish, and worse, that is on him. Twitter is just software. Garbage in/garbage out.

    The internet magnifies everything. The problem is not in Twitter. It's in his head. The internet just makes it a whole lot easier for people to see what's in his head.

    I am assuming that his agent has already given up on Terrence as a client that will get him paid considerably in the future. I realize that much.

    My point is that Terrence has done of poor job of representing himself on the business side of basketball, and the business side can affect the basketball side when you start getting short term, non guaranteed contracts.

    Just ask Jeremy Lin how non-guaranteed contracts can affect your basketball career stability despite your talents. Look at how much more difficult the road to NBA success is without securing that side of your career.

    Terrence is a sad case. That he might cost us a 1st rounder sucks.

    He has the talent, but he can't be coached. "Terrence, you're not the point guard" doesn't seem to sink in with him.

    The main reason they wont get a long term contract is because they just aren't that good to warrant one. Even without twitter, I doubt theses guys get anything long term.

    I am all for trying a combo of Parsons/Morris on the wings. Let Parsons play the 2 and Morris the 3 and let Morris have the shots that normally go to Martin.

    mike brown could take a liking to t-will since he's a defensive minded coach, and if there is one person in the league that t-will's ego shouldn't have a problem giving the ball to it's kobe. but i know that's a stretch and asking a lot of t-will
