It doesn't appear to be serious.

Yup. He'll only miss few trainings. He's a strong lad :wink:

Latest :

Thank you all for taking interest in the severity of my injury and all your support. Means a lot to me. My ankle is swollen, however I hope it's nothing serious. Receiving treatment already and it should be ok in a couple of days. My teammates reacted in the best possible way and kept our winning streak going which I'm very happy about! ‪#‎EuroBasket2015‬

Sounds good. Lets see how all that talk translates.

His jumper does look pretty damn sweet though.

yeah hopefully he can contribute. to me anything he gives us is a bonus as i wasnt expecting anything from him, at least this season

I don't care what our record looks like by April. I'm so happy this clown is gone. He still can't be honest about his own piss poor play. What fresh start did he need? He didn't do sh*t here but be inconsistent and he was given one of the best big men in the league, a Top 15 SG in the league plus TWO 1st ballot hall of famers. Yet, he still couldn't even have a near all-star like performance here. First, he said it was the injuries that held him back from being consistent. Now, It's coaches. Meanwhile, Brook Lopez has had 7 different coaches in his career and it didn't change his consistent production over the last 4 years including an all-star season...Injuries aside. This guy is such a delusional clown. :lol:

I don't care if we win 20 games, **** that piece of ****.

STABILITY? He was a HUGE reason as to why the franchise wasn't stable during his time here!!

That cowardly **** needed a fresh start from the day we traded for him. He's a coach killer, and a cancer. And I'm not surprised Kidd and he aren't cool anymore, Kidd probably wanted to slap him across the face after that Miami series. What a PRICK.

im over deron williams. i dont care if we lose 82 games and dont care if he is league MVP and wins a title in dallas.

the bottom line was he was bad here, declined massively here, was not putting in the effort here, and it wasnt going to work here.

it was a fantastic move to take the cap room and run. i like dallas and there fans so hopefully he works out better for them but im on to 2016 and a new era

Bobby "Get off of my lawn!!" Windrem has been tearing into Williams all day

When you accept a leadership role, and accept $99 million, you need to deliver. He didn’t.

Had someone inside who used to be a big backer who told me everyone of his coaches used the exact same words when asked about the Nets possibilities, "depends on which Deron shows up."

35 points in Game 4, 5 points in Game 5.

He gave NO indication in last two years that he’d be anything other than an overpaid, inconsistent malcontent … And this is coming from someone who defended him and hoped over and over again that he’d prove himself. Then I found out stuff

I can only imagine.

Exactly.

The Nets are beyond the D-Will era and have a whole host of issues to solve heading into the future.

My focus is on the Nets and how this team will improve, not about D-Will and what happened in the past. What's done is done.

The Nets need to tell him that he's done. An ankle injury and now he go concussed? I understand country pride but the a lot rides on this guy being an every night contributor.

Hrco · Post #2278 » by **Hrco** » Sun Sep 6, 2015 8:55 pm

No way.

He will rest maybe one more game, and play the rest of the tournament...
If he was on a court Cro would won today.

nets juts signed sg/sf danthay jones to nonguaranteed deal, training camp type of deal, wonder if karasev job security is low with this and quincy miller competing for the spot too

Paradise · Post #2280 » by **Paradise** » Mon Sep 7, 2015 6:01 pm

I like Jones alot. It's a shame we won't keep him past preseason.
