Good job Thorn!

What? Balkman was picked ahead of Marcus, everyone at the time was in love with the pick and he's only in his second year so give the guy a break. Don't forget he tore up the summer leagues and was on pace for a decent season before he broke his foot. The more I think about it, it would be smarter to hang on to him for now, I wouldn't go jumping at any trades just to get rid of him because he's still got potential

I am not going to give up on Marcus Williams until I see what he can do in these last few months. This is his chance that we were all talking about. The future is now for him and we will all see what he can do in major minutes. We can all judge after the season.

I'd literally THROW Marcus at any team that wanted him at this point. We need a shooter off the bench at the 2 spot badly, i'd practically drop him at Memphis' doorstep for Miller. The kid is useless and about as braindead as Smush Parker when he has the ball in his hands. He showed potential but this year he's been horrible.

I totally agree with you and Lurk.

I like M.Will, but if we can get mayo or e.gordon, I would do this without thinking.

Frank is terrible at developing young talent. There's no question marcus has the potential to be a good PG. If he has confidence issues, about 60% should be blamed on Frank. He has an unfairly short leash around his neck and never lets marcus play through mistakes as if he shouldnt make any. No wonder he plays scared and tight and airballs open three's. He's not comfortable at all because Frank wont let him get comfortable. He yanks him before he can get any rhythm going. You have to give a kid a chance and live with the mistakes along the way if he's gonna become anything at all. We all know he can play SO LET HIM.

its not even about the mistakes he makes, its the fact that he always makes the same ones and doesnt seem to be learning from them at all, he seems so unmotivated to even play, i'm not sure who looks more motivated out there, Bargnani or marcus cuz both look like a bunch of zombies out on the court to be honest with you
