    Didn't Dwight want to play with Williams?

    That was then, and this is now. : ) Deron's declined a lot since then.

    Don't know if Asik / Lin would get you what's left of Deron Williams. I'd only want him for a third team desperate for a name.

    Hell, if Asik / Lin stayed healyhy, they could nearly win the Atlantic.

    But this is all academic anyway.

    "i'm a system point guard." that quote always sticks with me as he now misses Sloan. You never know what you have til it's gone

    Personally I wouldn't hold that comment against him. With *very* rare exception, the vast majority of players are "system" players.

    Some systems cater to up and down players, others to post up players, perimeter players, PG's, big men, etc. Triangle, motion offense, Princeton... they all emphasize certain roles and play styles over others.

    Just look at Pau in D'Antoni's system vs the Triangle.

    Unless you're a true "swiss army knife" type of player like Lebron, results will vary tremendously. Landing on the right team, with the right roster and right coach is a much bigger thing than most fans realize or are willing to admit.

    Deron just had one of those rare moments when he was being perfectly honest.

    He did...in Dallas. Morey should send Cuban a sympathy card if we get DWill.

    Lol. If Morey scored DWill, Cuban would have a meltdown. :grin:

    It would almost be worth it just for the interviews...

    With the Rondo and now Williams talk it's obvious the front office is looking to improve at the point position.

    definitely not just funny how he misses the guy he threw under the bus and over the salt lake temple. :p
    humbling how things turned out.

    Asik and Lin are now to much to giveup for those two. Father time has caught up to those two.

    Coincidence that only New York reporters/sources have reported Lin being on the trade block? I have yet to hear anything from Woj about Lin at all..

    I think these stuff happened a lot behind the scenes. I won't buy too much into it.

    He might be laughing at the situation because of how tied up the Rockets would be. It's not like Dwill is good anymore. I mean, he's getting fat and his ankles always break.

    It would not surprise me, simply because it didn't happen.

    If Doc gets inside information, shares it with us, and things go awry, it doesn't mean he isn't an insider.

    Stop with the conspiracies.
