nice. i love jay will. i wish he could come to the bulls then we trade duhon and pargo. but if he goes to the raptors he will get playing time . I hope everything goes well for him.
It would great to see Jay back playing basketball. If he comes back I hope he plays well, he deserves to play like he use to after his wreck.He says hes interested in joining the Raptors, but do remember they have a 1st round draft pick to deal first. So we'll just wait and see
Yeah we could use Jay. We need more pg's now that Mike James will leave for some cash. Hopefully we can get Jay and hopefully another point in the off-season or a draft trade or something.
Jay Williams has been very impressive in his workouts, he has a rock hard body and has really improved his shooting. He's convinced me.
Jay Williams was a good shooter in college at Duke, and i figure it wouldn't be long before he got better at shooting the long ball in the NBA. My only concern is how well will he be able to run for a whole game, and what type of explosion and quickness will he have returning? If he is close to what he was before injury, he may be a good fit if the Raptors try to run the Suns offense. Before he got hurt, Williams could play at a fast pace, for a rookie he made very good decisions in both the open court and half court, and was good at setting up the other Bulls. Hopefully he comes back the same way, and the Raptors will be in all kinds of luck.
thas cool nice to see these players back in the leaguelike T.J. ford williams is gona play well with w/e team he plays with

Now we can use our pick for a center.</div>What Center?Bargnani and Aldridge both play PF, and why would we want to use our first overall pick trying to pick a center when more than half of centers fail in the League and turn oiut to be scrubs. Also, we have drafted a big man for 3 years straight in the 1st round. We need to draft Gay. He is the most talented, he can play guard and forward, he is really athletic, he can play defense, he can shoot, he can pass. JEEPERS
Gay. eh.Another SF, where he will get no mintues. We have drafted a PF in the past 3 years, not a center. Bosh and CV31(SF too) centers. Hoffa is just off the bench. We need LA. A banger like Bosh said. A actual center that can play in the post and board. Something the raps didnt have since Davis was good back then.
I now agree with Lamarcus. But not Bargnani. As Bargs can not play center, and he plays the perimeter. We dont need more shooters/scorers. We need a banger. And I thinj you're right, LaMarcus does fit that role. He can bang inside, run the break, rebound, block shots. He will take some of the pressure off of Bosh on the defensive end. And can you imagine the frontcourt of Charlie V/Bosh/Aldridge. Oh boy, thats nice right there.
