It seemed a bit off to me that he didn't want to ask Courtney Lee about the team and such. Kind of sounds like the two of them might not be the best of friends, but im just speculating here. Can't wait to see this guy on the floor.. http://www.nba.com/video/teams/rockets/2010/12/17/ZOOM0003MOV-1497446/index.html please lock if already posted..
He actually clarified that though... he doesn't want someone else's perspective to cloud his own experience. Makes sense. I don't think it had anything to do with Lee or their relationship.
yah im just throwing that out there, its alot different from the response they got from J-Hill when they asked him about Chase showing him around. I realize that they played together alot longer but it still erks me a little. Kind of the "i can do it myself" chip on the shoulder feel there or possibly a position battle is already brewing or has been continued. Again i could be waay wrong. Honestly wanted him to be more up beat about having a former teamate here and it didnt seem that way.. no problem..
He has an attitude, wants to be his own man .. but that's part of his whole package. We did get him for his toughness and strong personality, didn't we? He'll add a good mix to the low-key and laidback personalities on our squad. LMAO on the Christmas gift the team gave him ... there are many ways to send strong messages to TWill.
How did you get all that from one comment? You can't figure him out from 1 comment. You are reading too much into him.
Sorry I have bad sounds here, what Christmas gift are you talking about? And why do you think "he has an attitude and wants to be his own man?"
Christmas gift--look at the homepage of Clutchfans for the link or find it in his twitter account @TheRealTWill Attitude--been reading blogs about the trade and people who have followed him from college do say he has a strong personality ("eccentric" was the word one used, but I think eccentric in a good way). His playing style also is very flashy and attention-getting (again no problem). "Own man"--In the interview, he said he wanted to find out for himself what the team was like, not get it from Courney's perspective.
The comments seem fine. When dm traded for t-will he did say he wanted to give him a clean slate and only judge him by what he did in Houston, not jersey. So he's basically trying to say the same thing, except of course the rockets are known to be professionals and almost model-citizen like.
One reason I was excited about the trade is I really liked him in interviews when he was in college. When does he hit the floor?
hell, from the looks of them youtube videos, it looks like lee, and williams played well together. even though realistically, they lost a sh!tload of games. that terrence williams over and back behind the head pass to lee for the slam was a very nice play.
Seems like he might be boys with Brooks due to their Seattle roots connection. Hopefully it can bring some chemistry on the court.
Can't wait to see what kind of attitude TWill will bring to the team. I for one am hoping for a Mario Elie/Vernon Maxwell type.
