Any "true" rumors about Mo Williams?? 

Post#1 » by Mich3006 » Sun Dec 18, 2011 2:49 pm

Mo Williams is now fourth on the PG, what means that´s there´s no way he´ll stay in Clips uniform... Teams like the Hornets, Hawks, Lakers or especially the Heat should go for him, but is there anything in the books for real??

Mo is not the 4th pg on this team.

He's the backup guard for both Paul and Billups and will, most likely, play a similar role like Jason Terry does for the Mavs.

Though, we'd probably move him if there's a very good backup big or starting shooting guard available.

w/ Bledsoe injured, I would be patient w/ Mo. Besides from having a Bruised Ego (I think anybody would,if everything blew up in your face in 3 days) Mo is extremely important to us right now.
If someone was to offer Fair Market Valu, I say let him go and have Management really "Thank Him" sincerely for being a Team Player.
Guys like Williams who are respected in this league can sway players views about Clipper Management if he feels he was disrespected. If he speaks highly of Oshley & concedes it was just "Business," he may actually lure FA's to come here at less money.

I personally haven't heard any rumors on Mo Williams. We have talked on the board about maybe trading Mo for something. However this isn't really anything out there on him and given that Bledsoe is injured I don't see why we would part with Mo right now.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Haven't heard anything substantial. Until Bledsoe returns, it's probably a good idea to keep Mo Williams around as he's a good backup guard for the team. Foye is not nearly as efficient as him, and Foye is not as good a point guard, so Mo Williams is good for now.

I think if an opportunity presents itself, he will be moved (eg: Mo Williams for Robin Lopez, actually Foye would be a better option here), and in that case, Del-Negro just has to work the lineups well. Billups will come out early and play with Paul, then Paul will come out and Billups will play PG. That would prevent Foye from having to play as the PG. Willie Warren is also still available in case of injury, and for those days when the team is playing 3 games in a row.

Mo Williams should embrace a Jason Terry type of role on this Clipper squad. Become the 6th man getting upwards of 25+ minutes per game and become a high volume shooter. It seems like a perfect role for him.

I agree. I feel for the dude. He's been a huge positive presence for us gearing up for this season and then it's like he is the odd man out. He can be huge for us coming off of the bench, spreading the floor, and providing that offensive punch that we're going to need when our starters are resting. I just hope he snaps out of the funk soon and embraces what could be an excellent opportunity for both him and the team to succeed.

I think the Jason Terry-role would be perfect for him, since his strength is shooting, not necessarily playmaking. But if we can get a comparable big or SG for him, we should probably trade him. He has more value/talent than Foye, so he can probably fetch us a better player in return.

But I do feel for the guy. He seemed like he was really pumped up for this season, and was really a positive influence on the other guys. Now he looks like he'll be the first one traded. Ouch.

If he actually embraced he role, I really like what he can bring as a shooter/scorer off the bench. If we're talking about permanently though, and not just this season, it kills Bledsoe's role on the team, that is unless the plan is to move forward with a defensive/spot up shooter SG that plays 20-24 mpg.

Still, in tat situation, Bledsoe only gets the backup minutes behind CP, so like 12-13 MPG. For this season though, yes, for sure.
