I would take this guy in a heartbeat to play the back up 5 minutes. Phoenix, release him or swap him cheaply enough to Rox. http://www.azcentral.com/sports/suns/0122sunsnb0122.html Williams gets coaching offer but wants to play Bob Young The Arizona Republic Jan. 22, 2004 12:00 AM DENVER - The Suns have offered center Scott Williams an assistant coaching job, which he could take immediately, but the 13-year NBA veteran wants to keep playing. "I can neither confirm nor deny that," Williams said, smiling, when asked about the offer. "There will come a time when I'll be ready to step into another role in basketball, but right now all I've known is being a player. That's what I'm comfortable with, and that's what I want to continue to do. But an opportunity to enter coaching at this level is a fantastic opportunity that has to be seriously considered." Williams said it would be a difficult adjustment in the middle of a season. "It would be a strange transition going from banging alongside the guys, then all of a sudden yelling at them for not running back on defense," he said. "You can't start yelling at somebody for trying to short-cut a drill when I was doing it a week ago. "I'm enjoying playing right now, and that's what I want to continue to do however much time I have left - whether it's three months or a year or two years. I'll be upset with myself five, 10, 15 years down the road if I didn't think I tried to maximize everything I possibly could. "There are thousands of people that would like to do what I do for a week, playing in the NBA. I don't think I want to pass up any of that." Williams, who is on the injured list because of back spasms, realizes he may not be activated again this season as the Suns have gone with a youth movement. "It's been hard from the standpoint I'm a competitor - I want to go out and help the team win," he said. "I don't feel as if I have a role in that right now. I do feel I can help some of these younger players understand the NBA game, bond with one another."
a few minutes of what? We have the one of the most productive frontlines in the league as it is. Things are near perfection right now. Thats good enough for me. 5 minutes of Scott Williams is not going to give us absolute perfection. besides, we have Clarence Weatherspoon down the bench and Scott Williams gives you nothing Clarence Weatherspoon can't give you.
Charles Jones D was a thing of beauty. Wait for Shaq to grab the ball, bear hug him, repeat. Watch Shaq go 0-2 or 1-2 at the line. Get 5 fouls in 10 minutes. Wait til next game to repeat the same formula. Good old Turkey nose was great
