What about the long 3?

[T Park]

but if he can stay in front on Odom he can definitely stay in front of Dirk

Watching the 81 point game of Kobe.

Williams stayed in front of , and played fantastic defense on Lamar Odom.


Dirk is NOT faster than Odom, are you kidding me......

[El_Mago]

If being nearly 7'1, great handles, amazing balance, speed, shoot the rock like there's no tomorrow, and can create his own shot, is not having atheltic mobility....I wouldn't know what is.

I'm not saying that Odom is not quick....he's quick within that 18ft foot range, can create his own shot as well, and quick on the post; however, I don't believe he's as quick as Dirk on that perimeter nor as skilled.....and thats what we need....a perimeter defender to give Bowen some relief, and Williams is not that.

T-Park had mentioned that Williams did a great job on Odom, but our main concern is Dirk, and Dirk is in another class than Odom. Williams doing a good job on Odom is good and all when we play the Lakers, but won't cut it when we play the Mavs in a playoff series, and thats what is going to matter.

That first line is the telling one here. For a guy 7' - he's quick. No question. Dirk is the better player. No question. But you said he is quicker than Odom. Not realtive to size quicker, just flat out quicker - and that's laughable.

Seeing as Dirk doesn't move as quick as Odom laterally, wich is important in perimiter D, than uh, he should be ok.


The Heat put James Posey on him, and WIlliams is that type.

Also,


look up Erik Williams stats with the Nets before the trade to Toronto.


Then tell me how horrible he is.

I have. He could play in Jersey. But that was a season and a half ago, and the guy just turned 34. When you haven't shown what you can do for a year and a half at that age, there have to be a whole lot of question marks.

I didn't say I was sure the guy can't play -- I chose my words very carefully. The point is that we absolutely can't afford to assume that the guy can play, because he hasn't played at a high level over a sustained period since he went to Toronto.

We should go for Trevor Ariza, if Isaiah was stupid enough to give us Butler lets milk him for all he's worth!

[ChumpDumper]

Zeke traded Ariza to Orlando last season.

Wasn't he traded to the Magic in the Francis deal?

[td4mvp21]

AH he was? Woops. How stupid is the Magic's GM?

[cherylsteele]

NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME.

What do you think this is....SNL?

[JUUOT]

Some names of long 3 that are good fit and can be available :
Joey Graham
Qyntel Woods
Viktor Khryapa
Jumaine Jones
Trevor Ariza
Jared Jeffries
Hakim Warrick
Justin Reed
Devean George
Jumaine Jones
Sergey monya

i guess that now we know who bruno is rooting for lol
personally i think we could have a big surprise and see the spurs go after an athletic SG by trading barry instead of SF and keep williams as a stopgap solution.

[Quasar]

Any chance Elson would see time at this position, since he's purported to be a good outside shooter and able to run the floor well?
