    It makes me sad that our society is divided about such a bizarre, coded message.

    I appreciate that he is not taking playing time from other players anymore.

    He needed to go, too many guards and his play was awful, no brainer

    Brown has potential. He's great at the basket. He is just uninhibited, chaotic energy. There needs to be an aim at containing and utilizing that energy in a more disciplined way.

    Damn, I wasn't expecting them to wave Williams. But I agree with the decision

    first round draft pick Keon took B Williams job in short order....we didn't need a 6 ft pt guard taking a roster spot. Two open spots now and Sarr will get one of them....we will surely get bigger with this move today.

    Thanks to B Williams for helping us win some games back in the day....I hope he lands on his feet with a team that needs a backup pt guard even if it's overseas. One of a long line of past short backup pt guards like Tim Frazier and Shabaz......cut their teeth in Portland and moved on

    Was a pretty obvious decision. Hopefully Sarr pans out as a backup big

    And if not, chances are he'd make a better backup PG than Williams would.

    The next obvious question is, "When will the Wolves sign B Williams?"

    He helped us win a game or two when our objective for the remainder of the season was to lose.
