End the thread, he's gone.
Marc Berman: Shawne Williams mulling #Knicks offer tonight. Told his ego was bruised with all the Jamal Crawford talk last few days. Twitter
Williams has every right to be pissed at us. He deserves the 2.5 mil per year mini mid level exception and instead we tried to convince Jamal Crawford to sign here for cheap.
We tried something unrealistic and hurt a good role player in the process.
If we lose Williams, then we lose a main part of our 2nd squad. Williams can defend well in the post and hits the open 3 which makes him valuable.
We need guys like Williams on our team. I'd rather have him play the 4 than Jeffries!
I hope we can sign Williams.
I agree. While he would have been a good role player, he isn't even worth that imo. He can hit the three but that is the only thing that I would say about his game that doesn't leave a lot to be desired.I don't really see why anyone is blaming management for letting Shawne Williams walk. Yes he was a decent player for us but come on. He averaged 7ppg in 20mpg. In this offense. He was not some great player, just because he had one breakout season playing for MDA doesn't mean anything.
I liked Williams and wanted us to re-sign him but unless we used our mini-MLE on him there was no way to get him. We can get someone much much better for $2.5m per.
