hes been playing pretty well in summer league, probably would have been a better choice than williams
Lot of time to play ball, but that's one of the reasons I was so miffed with our draft. Splitter was good, but the draft was too deep to take Marcus Williams at 33. There were too many good players still left who were head and shoulders better than him already.
i wonder if presti's sudden departure ed the spurs over in the second round...yeah it pretty much did
The moves Seattle's been making lately indicates the brains may have been inside Presti's head, nowhere else.
sam's deals were not that hold
lewis wanted to do a sign and trade to get more money
magic wanted him
lewis said must do sign and trade then I sign with you if not so long
Getting the vast trade exception for Lewis was brilliant; forcing Orlando to do it was great. And don't forget the Ray Allen trade to bring in some pieces and Jeff Green, a talented guy to play off of Kevin Durant.
A lesser GM would try to retain Allen and/or Lewis to play around Durant; Presti recognized the correct path was to jettison both of them, and he got the most he could out of each one.
I wonder if Presti told the Spurs to draft Marcus Williams as he walked out the door... and then had a laugh.
