Bad news for Wizards, good news for Raptors.

I don't know.... Williams has looked really bad a lot of the time. Too much of a tweener. I like mbah-a-moute for his hustle and defence. I just think this is a meh trade for both sides.

I liked what I saw from Williams last season. I still think he can be a decent player in the NBA.

I just don't know what he plays. Is he a 3? Is he a 4? I think he needs to go to a team that has a system and with a coach who can optimize what he can bring to the game. San Antonio quickly comes to mind.

Going to Sacramento, I just don't know.....

Yeah, Sacramento has another athlete they likely don`t know how to utilise or develop.

i have a friend living in minnesota who says the fact they're getting even a serviceable player for williams is amazing.

**Ball Don't Lie** · 11-26-2013, 12:00 PM

Derrick Williams is an athletic 4. He cant play the 3 because he has a lot of the same problems Josh Smith has, in terms of not being quick enough to guard 3's, nor be able to score efficiently against them on the other end. Against 4's though he has the quickness advantage and can better get his own shot.

The problem here is that SAC has 4 PF's now, and Salmons/Outlaw at SF. They must have another trade in the works involving Thompson and or Patterson otherwise this deal is just another terrible offering from a very mismanaged team.

DWill could end up being a very nice fit at the starting 4 besides Cousins, but again, they need to get rid of the glut of trash they have on their bench.

MIN got a good deal out of it with the Fresh Prince. Him and Love were teammates in college, he can defend 1-4, and he's just a great glue guy for a winning team. They needed more depth at the wing, and he'll give them that, plus he can defend bigger SF's who Brewer generally struggles against.

Wow, this is insane. Buck fans started a petition to tank and are raising money for a billboard, they are already over 60% of their goal of 5000 dollars
