<{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Nocioni is a tough guy who plays with heart, pretty good on D, and completely annoys the other team, so from that standpoint I like it. Thabo seems wildly inconsistent, but he's an athlete at least. I would hate to see Boki go more than Marcus Williams. Marcus doesn't have the fire, he's way too laid back, no edge to him. Getting rid of Antoine Wright would be the best part of this deal. Addition by subtraction. Harsh but true, sorry.</div>
Nocioni stays on the perimeter he shoots, yes he has heart and for you to say Marcus doesn't have the fire at 22 yrs. old are you serious ? he came back from injury early, worked w/ John Lucas extensively and has shown some potential in taking over the team for the future, the kid is 6 - 17 from 3 PT range and averages like 2 APG in limited time, people said the same crap about Deron Williams and look what he did in Utah, Marcus is damn good. A lot of you will regret this trade if he's part of it. As for Antoine Wright he gets inconsistent minutes and has a horrible coach I'm sorry but example LF in LA when Kobe was getting shut down by AW switched on the last possesion to Kidd, how is this kid suppose to believe in himself after these moves ? or not getting a second vs Jamal Crawford...

Hey, it's Wright's 3rd year in the league, if he's got confidence issues, that's on him, he needs to man up and grow a pair. The fact is, it's not a confidence thing. He doesn't have the ability. He doesn't even have a "go to" move, other than the half-hearted pump fake & drive into a charge play, which we've all seen for 3 years now. And he's overrated as a defender. I've seen him get taken off the dribble a ton of times, or give ticky tack fouls. He had a five game stretch where he started and did nothing special with it. He's had his chances.
Regarding Marcus, if he ever learns how to shoot or defend, yes, he could be good. He's not a future all-star. Is he even as good as say Mike Bibby, who's never been to an All-Star game? No way. The best Marcus Williams is going to do is maybe a Tinsley-like career and that's about it. I'm just saying in no way should Marcus be considered untradeable. Area 51 on the other hand, should be off limits.
