He says he is a system player and not an ISO centric player..It's what got Avery Johnson fired...

“I’ve really had injuries I’ve been dealing with the whole time,” Williams said. “I didn’t have the talent around me I did there. Their system was a great system for my style of play. I am a system player. I loved coach (Jerry) Sloan’s system there, I loved the offense there.”

“I grew up in high school, my coach wasn’t one of those guys who would just throw out the ball and let us play,” Williams said. “We were a system team. We had a staple of plays that we relied on. We were good at execution. In college (at Illinois), we ran the motion offense. A lot of cutting, a lot passing, a lot of screening, a lot of extra passes. I’m used to just movement. So I’m still trying to adjust. It’s been an adjustment for me.”

I am a system player. I loved coach (Jerry) Sloan’s system there, I loved the offense there.”

His decline has been unbelievable- I thought only Players that ended up Knicks went downhill that much, that quickly!

ankle-itis

Not just physical though- he let his conditioning slide and went from having a great competitive attitude to being a complaining asshole

conditioning has always been an issue for him. xtra weight on bad ankles doesnt help.

I know Cuban wants Tyson back, but is he that stupid? And I thought the key to this whole deal was getting rid of Tyson AND Felton?

About half the teams in the league are reported to have cap space, at a time when Greg Monroe headlines the class (since LeBron&co are expected to re-sign, as well as Dirk). I think many of those teams will have difficulties in spending the money, Dallas among them, so why not take on Amare's deal for one year if it means getting a more-than-serviceable player back?

As for Felton, I honestly could see the Nets taking both he and JR for Marcus Thornton's expirer. We might have to add cash in the deal but I think that it is still workable.

I doubt van Gundy will part with him.

Yeah. Ron Jeremy will probably really like him

No way in hell. He's worth more than our entire roster cloned 3x over.

True. Very true.
