Since the game wasn't on Sunsports last night, I listened to it on 540 AM broadcast and at the end of the game, they were saying how great of a game white chocolate had and said he might have been auditioning to play for the Magic.

They implied he had interest in playing for us and seemed in favor of bringing him here...

What is yout take on J-Will?

Well he went on record earlier this year, saying that he would love to finish his career in Orlando.

I was also think this last night as i was watching the game...I bet we go after him with the vets min. and he takes the place of arroyo in the rotation.

actually he didn't go on record...it was reported that "a friend" of his said Jason would like to finish up in Orlando, and then he came out afterward and said the claims were false...

lol, quite the opposite eh thief?

Either way, personally I don't want Williams here. If he's coming off the bench, maybe. But there's no way I want him starting that's for sure.

polar indeed sir...

as for Jason, I think he would make a good backup, clearly better than Arroyo at offense, setup and attacking the basket, so I dont think we should overlook him. it just depends on what else is available and how much he wants...

It was a hell of a tryout, but it was by far his best game of the season. I'd throw him the vet. min. at a maximum.

If Arroyo moves on, the Magic will need a third string quarter-back. My question is if Jason Williams would accept such a role. If he would, this would be a great fit for the Magic.

Am I the only one who doesn't want him here? Just look at what Miami fans think of him... they are the ones who get to watch him play a full season. The man has worse defense than Nelson and Arroyo together and when they are on a bad night. I want the Magic to get a tall defensive PG, not a J. Williams type.

I really hope we draft Darren Collison

Williams would be fine as a 3rd PG but he doesnt want that role.. He also torched us and scored 30 for the THIRD time in his 10 year career. Hes not very good. His basketball IQ is average, hes got a good long range shot, which is about it. I will say he is better than Arroyo, but thats not a good compliment.

I agree with thief, lets see what else is out there.

A rookie or second year guard, or an emerging D-leaguer are often good choices at the 3rd PG slot.

As a combo-guard project, Kyle Weaver might get a look in the draft to shore up the PG platoon.

Jason Williams is no all-star but would be a VERY good fit here.. He has GREAT court vision and is a poor mans Jason Kidd with a MUCH better jumper.

I really think having J-will here would make this team better.

He has speed, outside shooting, passing and plays okay defense.Plus he has size.

Williams for LLE would make me a very happy fan.


EDIT: A VERY poor mans Kidd...
