Has he even played in the preseason at all?I am starting to think he won't be on our roster.Maybe the Spurs are leaning more toward Charles Lee or Melvin Sanders.Also Jackie Butler [if you take out the fouls] had anice game, what do you think of him?

I'm thinking Williams has a guarantee salary of $4.3M ths season.

Unless he takes a buyout of about half salary or is traded, he'll be on the 15 man roster. SA isn't going to cut $4+M.

PJ Carlesimo was saying before the game last night that they think he can contribute and he might be able to fill the long 3 role, etc.

So I think they are going to give him a chance before they cut/trade him. He's coming off an achilles injury but he's expected to play today.

Give Eric Williams a chance, two years ago for New Jersey when starting and given consistent minutes before being shipped to the human wasteland that is Toronto, was putting up fantastic numbas.

Get healthy, and put him in the rotation :tu

Word is that his numbers dropped in TOR because he had attitude about not being on the East coast to be near his brat(s). If he drops that, he'll be welcome here. Otherwise, if they have no takers by the deadline, Mercer his ass.

His numbers dropped because he went from averaging about 25mpg to about 5-10mpg

The number drop was indirectly due to his bitching. The bitching lost him his spot, therefor the numbers dropped. Also, try to quote correct facts. It was 24 minutes to 12 minutes.

Hmmm... I was saying EXACTLY THAT the day after we traded for him, but no-one was listening except T Park obviously...

Eric Williams is our 5th wing player. If he sees more than 12 minutes in ANY game, blowouts or weird matchups excepted, we're in trouble.

Eric Williams looks to have gained a lot of weight, but think he will make the roster. He has consistently been a player with good ability in all areas - Defense, rebouding, shooting. His prime passed a long time ago but he can still contribute

Yeah he looks huge. I'm not sure he'll be on the active list on opening day.
