very good pick up for the nets. My only question is who will start at the sf and would maybe Jefferson be put at the sg.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting NJNetz:</div><div class="quote_post">Nice edition adds more youth to the team. guess they are not going to sign Ron Mercer</div> Youth? Eric Williams is the same age as Shaq, and older than Kidd, 32. Good signing though.

Eric Williams is a very good pickup. He can guard 3 different postions depending on matchups. He will adds a little more hustle & depth to our bench. I think he goes toward Rod Thorn's plan on building a competive but affortable team over the next 4 seasons. I fully expect Mercer to be signed in a day or so. But will still will have somewhat of a hole at the 4 spot, even tho PF is Aaron Williams natural position and he could return to the PF and probably start for alot of games. And do a solid job like when he started for awhile during the season before kidd got here, when everybody on our frontline was injured all the time. I dont think we will be as bad as everyone projects us to be, we will probably end up in the middle of the pack in the eastern conference in my opinion.
Good pickup for the Nets. EWill has alot of heart, he gives 110% every game. This is something you cannot appreciate unless you see him play night in and night out. About 15 games into the season, you guys will all know what I'm talking about.
Im glad the nets are finaly starting to do somethign good this offseason. it was a good pickup for them. they now have a reliable consistant scorer even though jefferson was one and still is
Ron Mercer and Eric Willams are also good players, the former can offense, the after can defense. They can strongthen Nets. We don't have Martin, but have Krstic and Davis, it's ok.
EWill is a solid veteran. Watch out for him fading off in the end of the year. When he first came here he was awsome, then all of a sudden he just dissapeared. I don't know if thats his history but it was really bad last year....
yeh Williams is a nice pickup...great defender, strong inside and has 3-point range...he'll fit in nicely with New Jersey...
Williams was someone who could've been a great bench player for us during our nice run. He'll provide the spark off the bench. He can play defense and can hit the open three. KMart wouldn't be in a lot of foul trouble with him. Looks like he has to start for us now. I know he'll do a good job. I'm a big fan.
Yeh, E-Will is a quality aquisition, and hopefully, will fit in better than Rogers did off the bench. Looking at his stats, he seems to be making a statistical come-back from his huge injury back in 1997.
