Justin williams just released by the kings any interest here he is a good rebounder/shot blocker

Well, yes and no I suppose. The Raps don't have an open roster slot, so barring a trade you'd have to waive a guy and add that cost to the total cost for adding Williams. At that point it's a no.

Personally I think this guy is a nice reserve big type prospect though. He rebounds well and his shot blocking is adequate, if not stellar. People will mention his scuffle with the law this year, and say "B-Co won't touch his character", but there's only so far I'd trust that reasoning. SO maybe the Raps would take a low priced look if a trade freed up a roster slot. I wouldn't object.

He was accused of rape but the charges were dropped. Apparently he had a videotape of the consensual act. In any case, he at worst in the "Kobe Bryant" category of lawbreaker, so unless BC would also not sign Kobe for the same reason this issue shouldn't bar signing Williams. Not that he'll get signed, just that being accused of assault by a golddigging liar (I assume that would be his position) shouldn't be a roadblock to such.

If Dixon is traded, and packaged with another wing player for one player in return then by all means.

His character is questionable, but at the same time the guy can pull down boards and would add some much needed toughness to the rotation at the five.

Hey some women are malicious. They see the man as a target for money and something like that could happen to anyone. That doesn't make him a bad person character wise. It's just unfortunate that it had to happen to him. Joey Graham could be accused to raping someone tomorrow.

I think he'd be a great pickup. With some work in the weightroom this off season, he could be a nice plug at centre. Rebounding, shot blocking, and garbage hoops. That's what Toronto needs next to Bosh.

This man is the original version of Sean Williams. He deserves to be on an NBA roster. If the Raps sign him they'll be really happy.

Colangelo made a super-run at Kobe while the trial was still pending.

The difference is, Kobe's the best.

Heck, Kob' could probably powerbomb Calderon through the floor at halfcourt and Colangelo would still pay him the max. Twice.

you will not be disappointed in Williams. There are a lot of Kings fans out there regreting the release.

If he can not get any PT in Sacromento what makes you think he'll get any here?

Its not like the Kings have any size either.

Undersized for the position he plays and alleged character issues. I don't see that happening with this group running the show.

Not anything worse than Sean Williams.

Woot! Down with Feminism! Down with 'girls are always right'!

Ill Mago where you at!

This guy is intriguing but I'm not sure how could he can be. We always have to judge our bigmen against Hump because they'd have his spot and they have to be willing to make that 3 million and that's it
