Jay Williams signed

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The New Jersey Nets will announce today the signing of guard Jay Williams to a non-guaranteed contract, improving his chances of resuming his career in his home state. Williams, whose career was derailed after a serious motorcycle crash in 2003, will join the Nets for training camp and the preseason, although a final spot on the roster is far from guaranteed. Williams, a former star at St. Joseph-Metuchen High School who played just his rookie season with Chicago before his crash, worked out with many NBA teams over the summer in the hopes of getting a guaranteed offer. But there has been skepticism about his decreased lateral movement.</div>Link

 

I will wait until I see him play to decide if this was a good pick up or not. Although, If the contract isn't guaranteed then it cant hurt.If he can play anything like he did in 2003 then this was a solid signing, The Nets are really improving there bench. Mile Ilic, Eddie House, Marcus Williams, Josh Boone, Mikki Moore.

 

It would be great to see him get a guaranteed contract but it seems like he'll have to fight for a spot on the Nets. Tis a shame he won't be the same player he once was.

 

Yes! I'm just happy to see him back. It's not guarenteed, but I will be rooting for him to succeed/make the team 100%. I think he still has the chance to be a good player, how old is he now? 24-25? He isn't going to get much playing time behind Jason Kidd and Marcus Williams (if he makes the roster, which I think he will) but I'm just happy to see him back in the league.

 

yeah, http://www.nba.com/nets/news/jwilliams_signed.htmlWe'll see how he does.

 

He will hardly get any minutes behing Jason Kidd, Marcus Williams, and possible Eddie House. Im guessing he will be on the IR, if he even makes the team. But it's a good thing that he finally got a contract. I'm rooting for him.

 

I bet hes lost most of his great athleticism.

 

I think it's great to see him get back into it but he'll need to step up his game big time because the Nets already have a pretty good guards. Even though the contract is not guaranteed, I hope he stays with the Nets for a while and gets some playing time under his belt.

 

I hope that if he does get signed, he doesn't become IR, even though that seems more likely to happen.

 

He won't play much at all, but it's good to see him get his foot in the door a little bit.

 

It's not a guaranteed contract so if hes physically not even close to what the Nets want then he won't get signed for the regular season. Simple as that, low risk high reward
