completely agree with you guys, just feel that d-fish shoulda been a laker for life, and his familiarity with coaching staff and kobe coulda lent a sense of stability on the court and in the locker room.
You guys will like Shammond Williams though. We had him on the C's a few years back and he brings a lot of energy, some outside shooting, and pressure D.

Most reports have him as a guy much like Chucky Atkins, with little to no defense, a fairly quick first step, and ok shooting.

He is very quick and a decent passer. He is very athletic. He is 6'1 200lb, he has had ok averages over his career in the little amout of pt he has gotten. I was bummed when the C's traded him to Denver. Here is his player page...http://www.nba.com/playerfile/shammond_williams/?nav=pageIt doesn't show but he went to North Carolina and he is 31 years old now.</div>
