    Johnny Flynn and T-Will just got waived by the Pistons.
    Sondiata Gaines got waived by (I think) New Jersey
    Blake Ahearn also got waived.

    If Williams is available (and uninjured), I think he's a better player than Holiday.

    T-Will must be a total nutcase. He could be Ron Artest II with his talent.

    CDR was a hot topic here a few years ago.

    Looks like he's available now, and it wouldn't even be part of a package for LMA. :lol:

    He had the big problem that the Kings are having with Evans. No one is sure what position he should play and he has no clue either.

    Guy is a former lottery pick and is BRoy-esque. As a 2 guard he's a scorer and facilitator. He just doesn't have that sweet BRoy jumper.

    It wouldn't hurt. This team needs talent and Terrence Williams is essentially free talent. If it doesn't work you send him on his way. We already know Nolan sucks.

    Williams is also able to be an absolute bulldog on defense. Long, high motor, quick on his feet, big enough to body up...

    You guys make Terrence Williams sound pretty good! I don't know much about him, but the 4 teams he's been with in his 3 year career musn't have been too impressed with him.

    He got traded by Billy King, cut by the same guy who cut Jeremy Lin and got picked up by SAC for the rest of last year...only to be cut by Joe Dumars in this year's training camp. Yeah, I'm not willing to call him "Done" yet.

    T-Will needs the right coach. Essentially, Phil Jackson. But when I saw him play he was one of the most selfish players I've ever seen.

    Speaking of the same decision-maker who had just cut an outstanding player, the Kings brain trust signed Williams to a 10-day contract 2 days after they cut J. J. Hickson.

    I'm starting to see some interesting names and there are still a lot of names to be waived as teams get to 15 players.


    Do the Blazers dare waive Nolan (who still has two years left of a guarenteed contract?) to take a flyer on one of these waived players or even Karl?

    He's a little bit of a nut, that's why.

    The basketball talent is unquestionably there.

    I thought Curry was a lock to stay on with the Spurs.

    In the games I've watched he looked really solid.
