Terrence Williams PR Department (AKA STOP TWEETING)

He's a 1-on-1 player, certainly not a good fit for Adelman's read-and-react offense. That said, he's extremely talented and we'd be foolish to cut ties with him when his value is at its lowest.

 

I know i'm going to take some flak for this...but I think Twill is a mini LeBron, just like Iggy is a clone of LeBron.

Every so often T Will will do some iso shyt that'll just make your jaw drop. Too bad he's dumber than a toilet.

 

Exactly. Lebron at least has high bball IQ, unlike Twill. That's why one is arguably the best player in the league and the other one couldn't get playing time in a lottery team.

 

LOL!!! Well he is full of sh**!:grin:

 

Really? This is a pretty strong comment from the normally Caspar Milquetoast-like beat writer of the Chronicle.

(I don't think there ever was a level of grace. He doesn't execute the offense at all, did not practice intently and was disruptive with his constant complaining in the locker room. -- Jonathan)

Sounds like someone to get rid of, not someone to fire a future Hall of Fame coach over whether he plays or not. The body language of the other Rockets players on the court when Williams would check in (and the ball movement would check out) said volumes. Having said that, after what happened with Adelman, nothing would surprise me now.

 

Intelligence is a very underrated talent in the NBA.

 

Deck, given the choice of TWill or Adelman, you pick Adelman 10 times out of 9. That said, Adelman is gone -- it's time to move forward. There's no sense in compounding our mistake of giving up a 1st rounder for him by letting him go for scraps. Perhaps the new coach can get some production out of him? Who knows, but I'm willing to at least hold on to him through next trade deadline to find out.

True -- although I would counter that Terrence has an above-average basketball IQ (passing abilities/vision). That said, he has to mature off the court as well as on it. Still, I'm not ready to give him away -- not when we gave up a 1st in a deep draft for him.

 

A 'lottery protected' 1st, chances are that we're probably going to be using that pick come june of 2012.

 

I'd like to see T-Will get some nice PT for the Rockets next season.

 

The point of the matter is that everyteam need an iso player. We have one with nba talent and no trade value. That means we either hold on to him until he gains some value or until he fills his shoes. Either way he will have to play. If u look at these teams in the playoffs they are being won by iso plays down the stretch. The princeton offense will not win you close games when the players are tired and the defense is intense.

Ricks departure was not just cause of Twill, it was more about how he handled the situation with Williams, thabeet. Patterson and the other young bucks. Morey wanted to raise the trade value of the young players by playing them. Rick was too lazy to adjust his
Gameplan to honor that request. Leaving Morey no choice but to trade the players that did have value. Shane and brooks. Morey will be thinking tha same thing next year and that is something Rick will not do, so the departure was imminent.

 

Andre Igoudala is nowhere near close to being a clone of LeBron James just like TWill is not a mini LeBron

 

If he were to get his act together and listen to people who are almost 3x his age and have been in the business almost as long, he can be. I just don't think he will in time.

 

soiled toilet paper is at its lowest value; that isn't enough reason to keep it.

I can see arguments for keeping him, but do we have the slot? Can we tolerate his disruptive behavior?

 

I think you misunderstand what I mean when I say clone. By "clone", I mean he (Iggy) is physically built like LeBron. He really is. They're quite identical specimens I assure you. I've seen both play in person, and i'm sure others who have seen both will most likely agree.

Obviously he's not a clone of LeBron's game. That's why he's iggy and LeBron is LeBron.

While the T-will analogy was a bit more far-fetched than the iggy, I still stand by what I said. One only needs to youtube Twill to see what i'm talking about. MINI LeBrick.

 

Bad attitude is big problem. Suns fans hate trade for AB because of technicals, ejections, suspensions. They hope that team just admit to mistake instead of signing him to more money than worth. I do not like this T-Will’s attitude. Kyle Lowry say if you can't play for Adelman you can't play for anyone. I think this is true when naughty Ron Artest speaks so good of coach Adelman. T-Will must be on totally different level of naughty. Morey should just admit to mistake and trade away for best he can get. I laugh at selfish player who try to take ball from Goran.

 

Iggy's post season: 6 pts 28% fg 3 turnovers
LeBron's post season: 25 pts 45.8% 1 turnover

Iggy has been in the league for 7 years, and he is still not half as good as rookie LeBron. Iggy and T-will can't even hold LeBron's jock.

Here are clones.

 

see my reply to shaud 3 or 4 posts up. thanks.

 

True.

a) I didn't mean to imply the Rockets WON'T look to move him -- just that I feel that they shouldn't. His value is about as low as it gets right now, so I'd rather give the next coach a half-season to see if he can resurrect his value. The Bulls gave up JR Smith for Howard Eisley and JR went on to turn into a valuable 6th man contributor in Denver for a few years. All I'm saying is -- let's see if the new coach can use him, and if not, let's move him.

b) New Jersey's record last year is not good supporting evidence to the theory that Terrence's 1-on-1 skills don't equal wins. That was a terrible team, Twill or no Twill.. and Twill didn't receive consistent PT until the very end. That said, no, I do not want to rely solely on Terrence Williams to win me games. But do I think he could be a factor in us winning? Yes -- he has an elite skillset that he hasn't put all together yet.

c) The term "ball stopper" is overrated. You hear it and you think of a negative. Guess what? Carmelo is a ball stopper.. Kobe, McGrady, LeBron, Wade, etc. The only thing that phrase implies is that when x player gets the ball, he tends to look at making a play vs. the next pass. Not a real big negative in my eyes, IMO. I agree that Terrence was uninspired last year, but he also received very little playing time, and even less valuable PT (meaning, playing when the game mattered). While I don't condone his behavior on the court, I can at least understand that it comes from the frustration of not playing.

Let's see if he can get along with our next coach and be used in a way that helps both the Rockets and him before we ship him out for the next Howard Eisley.
