[size=18]Why not me? Williams asks[/size]


By DEAN MCNULTY, TORONTO SUN


Not everybody in Raptorland was lining up yesterday to offer Jalen Rose a pat on the back and an "atta-boy" on his trade to the New York Knicks for Antonio Davis.

Little-used forward Eric Williams was furious that he wasn't the player headed to the bright lights and big city that is New York.

A native of Newark, N.J., just across the Hudson River from the Big Apple, Williams has done everything but take out a billboard to let the Raptors know that he wanted a trade ever since he arrived here in the ill-fated Vince Carter swap last season.

Williams is a 10-year NBA veteran and has a young son still living in the New York area with his parents.

Last night, he was bitter when asked for his reaction to the trade that will bring Antonio Davis to the Raptors.


"It looks like I'll be stuck here forever," Williams said.

When pressed further, Williams waved off the questioner saying he didn't have anything more to say.

Man, Williams makes it sound like he is doing a 25 to life sentence.

He should be thankful, at least from a basketball standpoint...

It could be worse. He could be a Knick.

Please, people around the league know the Knicks have talent and want to play here. I've NEVER heard of a player who wanted to stay in Toronto. Who really thinks Mike James is going to stay there this summer?

Of course thay would want to come to New York instead of Toronto. Of course, none of the reasons are related to the Knicks. They would love the social life and activities. But wanting to come to the Knicks? Not exactly...

Sounds like he wants to be in New York for family reasons. I'm sure he'd be happy to get traded to the Nets too.

I'm not saying it has anything to do with the way our team is playing. Obv. it's 90% NY. But there's also cachet to playing for the Knicks, especially if you were born around New York.
