Eff Deron Williams 

Post#1 » by shakendfries » Thu Sep 3, 2015 8:08 pm

I will always have sympathy for players who give it their all on the court- regardless of the outcome. Deron Williams is not one of those players. Over the past several seasons, I have watched Porkharov empty his pockets to give Deron the easiest PG job in the league, only to have him bi*ch and moan up and down the court as just about every other PG in the league has taken turns lighting up the Nets. Deron Williams is the story of the franchise player who never was, and now that he is off the team, watching DWill get lit up by opposing PGs will bring me nothing less than delight.

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'd take Marbury over him. I definitely think he had personal issues that developed from his early years to his last NBA season. It didn't stop him from trying.

What personal issues does Deron have except being a lazy passive aggressive condensing bitch?

He treated people poorly

Down to the lunch ladies.

He was a diva.

He complained non stop.

He sat out injuries.

Have you all forgotten what Pierce said about him?

Of course you have.


Paul Pierce volunteered in July 2013 that DWill could be the MVP.

Then after playing with him, Pierce volunteered HE was the problem. Johnson was unhappy playing with him

And he was UNTRADEABLE. Which you conveniently forget. NO team believed his problems were with the organization. They didnt think he was anywhere worth what he was owed.


^Bob Windbag is spilling the beans on this dirtbag. Williams is a jackass. I feel bad for Dallas fans who think that they are getting a bargain. He will poison that locker room

Remember when this dude said that the reason he couldn't shoot well in The Prudential Center was because of poor sightlines? Yet I recall opposing players coming in and torching the Nets from deep. LOL.

Eff any Williams on the Nets. Only A Train has escaped the Williams curse in effect since the team let Buck go. (I think)

I loved Aaron Williams. Worked his ass off, and a super reliable backup big.

I miss when everyone on our team gave a ****, as opposed to now, when we hope 2-3 guys give half a ****.

I concur with the eff Deron Williams sentiment.

Cutting all ties with Decline Williams was the best thing the Nets organization could do to save their franchise. Williams isn't a coach killer-- he is a franchise killer. He can single handily defeat a locker room, deflate energy, cause turmoil in a few minutes of stepping on the court, all the while, remaining a selfish piece of chit. This is not the type of cancer ridden indvidual the Nets needed to cater to any longer. By sending him packing shows the team, franchise, and the fan base not ONE player is bigger than the team.

Eff Decline Williams. He is Dallas' headache to deal with now. Let them suffer from his ME attitude and see how long it takes before they turn on him. Or better yet, him turn on them.
OKC Thunder fan, too.

I have been one of Derons biggest supporters while he was with the Nets. Hoping every off-season that he will finally turn it around and give us a full season of domination, never happened :( .

To go with this topic, I just got a dog yesterday, and I named him Deron. So now I have a little German Shepherd named Deron! :) Thats a true story! So from now on whenever you talk on this board about Dog Deron, you should clarify :wink:

THE JIG IS UP! In a recent interview with ESPN, Dr. Lyle Mason, a longtime team doctor for the Utah Jazz, spoke at length about DWont's habits and relationship with hall of fame coach Jerry Sloan:

Deron, when he came, was a guy who was a very skilled player, and the coaches looked at him and Chris Paul—we could have taken either one—I think Jerry decided on Deron because of his size, strength, and his durability. They thought he might be just a little bit better than Chris, although they liked both players, and then when he started playing, he was an outstanding player. BUT, the personality conflict grew between him and the coach, and eventually it became impossible for the two of them to stay. When the coach quit, management still decided that it was best if he went somewhere else.

Deron was the opposite of Stockton: Deron could not handle the coach calling any plays. He wanted to call every play. I’ll never understand why that was such a big deal, that if the coach called one play, he was going to run another one, which he always did. And that was part of what really drove them apart, was that Deron just decided he didn’t need coaching, and Jerry obviously thought otherwise.

...Why he couldn’t adapt to Coach Sloan’s way of coaching, I don’t know. I know that Karl and John adapted to it because of their tremendous respect for Jerry. And maybe that same respect was not there with Deron. I don’t know.


Its no wonder why John Stockton and Devon Williams aren't mentioned in the same breath.

Bad news for Dallas fans, here's what the doctor had to say about casper's glass ankles

It still remains to be seen what he can do long-term. Obviously, with New Jersey he’s been hurt a lot, too. Nobody ever figured the wrist out. We knew he had loose ankles. And then those just got worse, I think, at least more symptomatic when he went to New Jersey. But that’s been a big part of his problems in New Jersey is his inability to stay on the floor.


I beg to differ. A bigger part is the fact that he was never a franchise player. He had one decent season on the floor, which was undermined when he got washed by Nate Robinson on his home court. His time on the floor in Brooklyn featured a helluva lot of this:

I seriously don't think Mavs fans have a clue about what they've just let walk through the door. If he couldn't handle Hollins he definitely isn't going to be able to deal with Carlisle.

Stephen A Smith's response to Paul Pierce's comments earlier this season explains everything we witnessed firsthand during his tenure with the Brooklyn Nets

No one ever questions Deron Williams' talent. This man can play the game of basketball and when he brings his A Game, he can be one of the top point guards in the game. The problem is, we haven't seen his A game in years. It has been completely and utterly non existent. I'm talking about his A game. There are spots when it may show up for a game or two, and by and large, to be kind he has been a bust. And he has been a bust, not because of his skills, not because of his abilities, but because of two reasons. Number 1: Deron Williams does not want to be in Brooklyn. He doesn't want to be in that spotlight. He stayed there because they offered him the most money, regardless of what he says. Number 2, and just as important, he doesn't have the makeup to be the franchise player in a big market city. Deron Williams is a man, and I say that in a complimentary fashion from this respect. He ain't got time for nonsense, he is all about doing his job, and going home to his wife and kids. That's Deron Williams. He's that kid of guy from what I have been told. My point is that to be a franchise caliber player you've gotta be a little something extra from that. You've gotta want it- you gotta want greatness- not just for your team, but for yourself. It can't be where you're losing and you're struggling, but you've done your job, give me my check so I can go home...he can contribute on almost any team in the NBA because he's just that gifted. The issue in question is, does he truly want it. He truly epitomizes, and I know players hate to say this but it's the absolute truth- this is why you don't want max deals lasting five, six, or seven years. You want three at the most or whatever the case may be, because then his tenure in Brooklyn would be over by now and you could move forward, but they still owe him a significant chunk of change...Deron Willaims doesn't want it. Deron Williams can play, but he's not a winner...his record, and his level of production, and his attitude about losing shows it. Guess what, we should be hearing these quotes [RE: Paul Pierce] from Deron Williams about somebody else. Not from somebody else about Deron Williams. But, we've heard it...We heard it when Jerry Sloan left...We heard it when Avery Johnson left...We heard it when PJ Carlissemo left...and we're hearing it now from former players.

We were labeled as title contender depending on Deron. Pierce spoke out and exposed him due to pure frustration of the potential that team had with an MVP caliber talent.

Everyone has said the samething. Deron was after money and control. He didn't care about winning a championship. He mentally checked out when he was challenged by championship vets and coaches. That's the reality of what happened.

No, we were labelled title contenders once the trade was made due to the names on the roster. The same reason we threw away a 49 win roster for three brand names. But let's not get into this again.

Universe, please tell me you're not suggesting that our 49 win roster > 2013-2014 roster...that would be quite a, er..."interesting" opinion... :crazy:

We threw away a team that SUCKED in the playoffs. It was a trade made to upgrade the soft label we created after getting owned by a half injured Chicago team. That 49 win team wasn't very good and we were only successful because Lopez had a career season and Deron was actually pretty solid.

We were labeled as championship contenders behind Indiana and Chicago because we added two impact players they kept a below average Boston team relevant and still managed to give Miami and NY hell. Everyone knew the success of a potential championship run over Miami was resting on Deron's shoulders. In hindsight, if Deron was remotely good...we easily force Miami to 7 games and if Deron was great, we could have beat them. We gave up our entire future to a player that mentally checked out and couldn't even show up against the Miami even with the resources to beat them.
