    He can shoot. He's an All Star PG and he's coming off their bench. We have players that could get us Mo. Either him or Nash. I want a PG who can shoot. These players are getable and we have talent to spare in a trade.

    They need a real SG. Maybe Matthews for Mo Williams? Then, we trade Felton for a SG? Maybe Landry Fields?

    I was thinking more like Crawford for Williams; of course would have to wait until Mar 1.

    I'm all for a trade to improve the outlook of the team, but trades in my opinion should only be done to either push a team that is close to contention over the top or to improve the long-term outlook of a struggling team by exchanging players for liquid assets (draft picks and/or cash). Mo Williams achieves neither of these goals IMO, he'd probably be a lateral move.

    Ya he's almost as bad as Felton.

    Good thing is. His contract is just like Wallace's with a player option for next year. Maybe we can do a three way with NY and send Felton to NY or something.

    I'm on board with this. We can throw in the Nevada boys to make up the numbers.

    I can't accept bringing in a Mo Williams. Just seems more of a lateral move. We either get a lock down defender or something that has a career average better than 43%. The bricks made so far; could make mansions in Lake Oswego.
