    Remember him? Well, he played well in the D-League last season, and is continuing his good play this year.
    We're overloaded at the swing position, I know (especially until we trade Henderson), but I was thinking more about taking Tim Frazier's spot in the rotation (not that he's really IN the rotation, I know) because the trouble with Tim is that you can't really play him next to CJ or Lillard without getting totally overpowered, whereas Elliot is 6'5" and a good defender. Plus, we sort of owe him:

    Haven't watched a video of him in years. Funny that a guy that can dunk like in this video (good for a normal person) looks like an old man compared to what I remember. I'll have to see if I can find an old video to compare it to.

    He lands and puts his hands on the floor because he doesn't trust his legs.

    Just watch a McDonald's All American mix on youtube. He put his hands on the floor then too.

    Hell yeah. I was a huge fan of EWill901503 when he was here. It was too bad he was constantly plagued by injury because that dude could get up and fly.

    I love Ewill, too.

    I watch many of the Santa Cruz Warriors game. The guy has it. Maybe not the athleticism he once had, but that's to be expected.

    He'll continue to get shots. Would welcome him back to the team with open arms.

    He's a great slasher... I don't know why we don't? He'd be great off our bench.

    When he played for New Orleans, I really liked his willingness to pass the ball and dish out assists.

    Being a forward, he would replace Connie or Montero. We need the 3rd PG.

    The 76ers let him go. If he was so good he would still be in the NBA. If this guy didn't get drafted by the Blazers his name probably wouldn't even come up.

    What if he was TOO good for the 76ers?

    Think about it.

    Let's see if Alaa Abdelnaby wants to come play some 3string PF. I hear he's still ballin overseas.

    Dude. You don't get common sense and logic, do you?

    Oden is dominating the 6'4" Chinese front lines.

    No its about fans falling in love with players and not being able to let go.

    Question: Have you actually WATCHED Elliot Williams since he left? It's not like he's posting 1.0 PPG, with 0.8 assists in 1 minute of play.

    I ask you to learn, but in that same vein, I have yet to learn that you don't learn.
