If the Nets got an offer for a guard they wanted, who would you prefer they trade? Josh Boone - Better rebounder, defender. - Has been solid when given the minutes. - Poor free throw percentages - Limited upside. Sean Williams - Better shot blocker and shooter - Has been up/down so far in his career - Bigger potential. - Locker room problem?
Based what I have read, he is a very good teammate. He is always cheering the team on. He has also been quoted saying he loves this team and his teammates.
Should put a poll up. As far as your descriptions, I don't think you can say Sean is a better shooter. FT shooter yes, but I think Sean's only converted a couple jumpers. And I don't think Sean is a lockerroom problem. Redecorator yes. I'd replace that with undersized. I'd keep Boone. You know you have a solid back-up center for years to come with him. I don't know what Williams can be. Yi and Anderson should be the starting and back-up PFs of the future.
The Wolves have sort of a glut of swingmen: Mike Miller, McCants, Gomes, Carney, Corey Brewer. Would the Wolves be interested in a Brewer for Sean swap? Still to early for them to give up on Brewer? Should the Nets do it?
Throwing some other names out there: Brandon Rush Joe Alexander Wilson Chandler Donte Greene Nick Young Dorell Wright Julian Wright Ronnie Brewer Courtney Lee Jeff Green Won't be a straight up swap for some of them. Nets would have to include something else like a pick or salary relief.
What on god's green earth makes you think the Knicks would trade Chandler? Most of those players are not going anywhere.
I still think that Sean can become a serious player in this league in the next 2 years. I'd prefer to give up the luxury of a 6 million expiring contract, but if it comes down to Sean or Boone....damn it, I'd keep Boone. :-(
I didn't put a poll up because I wanted to discuss this, also, this isn't a trade thread. Just wanted to see who you guys thought is more valuable.
Here's the thing. Josh Boone has a real shot at becoming someone like Udonis Haslem, which would rule. Sean Williams on the other hand has K-Mart potential but is unlikely to ever reach it. I would hate it if he goes into another system and becomes just that, though again, unlikely. I would keep Sean Williams, I like Boone but I want to take a risk.
What about Malone as one of the greatest PF's as well. Derrick Coleman was also a great PF for a while with Buck Williams. I could have also included enforcer as well.
