Yeah, I'd rather take my chances with Cleanthony. We're still talking upside with this Williams bum. I could be optimistic if Williams showed he had one useful NBA skill, but he's shown nothing. Bargs would've been better than this.

We would have been better off going after Jordan hill

Sounds great.

I hate soft players. If he's not willing to crash the boards and play defense, I don't want him. It's not about talent. He just doesn't want to do it.

this kid is garbage. lol. i dont mind taking a flyer on him but not for 5 mill. hes vet minimum talent. the only thing he does well is dunk

He's been in terrible situations with completely uncompetitive teams that had no direction and terrible management. Thankfully the Knicks will be a breath of fresh air!! But I do think in a better environment he might do better - and I do think the environment in Sacramento and Minnesota (a few years ago at least) might actually be worse than it is in New York

This sounds like the kind of comment that only a Knicks fan would make.

I think we paid too much but we know other teams might have been involved. After we get by the pay,met which none of us can dictate let's look at the player. He just turned 24 he was the best player in college basketball as a freshmen. While he hasn't lived up to those standards he did show signs of breaking out end of last year and still he was a consistent 15-6 per 36 min his whole career. He's a rare athlete who weighs close to 250 pounds yet still has near elite athleticism at 6-8. Let's give him a chance the way some team gave demarre Carroll a chance when he was all but done early in his career. Yes the money should've been commiserate with a t Robinson but let's be positive for the guy and give him a chance until such time he may not deserve it. Part of building a team involves risk and that is acceptable risk if you don't have the ca hones to take risk you never reap reward or a chance for reward
