Mo Williams Press Conference on at 3

I concur.

 

Yea thought I'd have a problem with a player taking Roy's number, but Mo is a cool cat and that's a great story how he chose #7. Welcome to P-Town Mo! And nice work Neil.

 

I'm just now watching the press conference and he says that he's been #25 all his life. He said he asked for #25 and was told it was taken. Nobody on the team has #25...

This sounds like CJ won't be playing. Mo will obviously be playing at both guard spots. Ah well.

I didn't watch the press conference. Why did he say he chose #7?

 

CJ will get minutes just not more then 10-15 at most a game.

His child suggested the number because there are seven people in his family. Mo asked for three different numbers before asking for #7.

 

Every time I hear his name I think of Tupac... "We keep it rockin', we keep it rockin'..."

 

Funny dude. I like his attitude a lot. I guess we'll see how he does, but I feel really good about having a guy of his caliber backing up Dame. I don't think we'll lose much when Lillard takes a rest.

 

He talked a lot about being the sixth man on several teams. He sure seemed like he's cool with it. He even talked about finishing his career here. Not like LaMarcus "I'm here now" Aldridge.

 

I thought his explanation about picking #7 was cool. It was weird though to see someone else with 7. Even if I don't think Roy should have his number retired, it's still weird.

 

How do people feel about Mo taking Roy's old number? Personally I don't see #7 getting retired so not a huge issue. I think some would disagree though.

 

I understand why some people feel it's "too soon". OTOH, maybe it will always be "too soon" until it happens. Maybe we need this for real healing to take place, so we can finally get over it and move on. Like throwing out some crap that reminds you of your ex. It has to be done. And now is a good time.

 

It actually isn't the first time that #7 was given out since Roy left. Although this is the first time the person who received it will play in a game.

 

People need to get over it. I don't think Mo is even the 1st to wear 7 since Roy.

 

If it was the start of last season; I think I'd be a little upset. Roy will always be remembered in my mind. I don't need to remember his number when I can remember the player.

 

Coby Karl wore #7 for us. He was good. I'd take him over Barton or Claver.

 

I'll take, "Scrubs who won't leave the bench" for $400 Alex!

 

I believe that Roy's number, 7, should be retired. So I will never use it for the rest of my life.

I ask that no one on this board ever write the number. Have some respect.

 

I was thinking about changing my username to 7.
