I think it's very impressive that the FO has actually found a point guard worse than Acie Law and Grevis Vasquez

Time to start figuring out where we're going to hang our 2010-11 NBA championship banner in FedexForum

Grevis should keep his head up! The Phoenix Suns did not know what they truly had when the funny looking kid out of Santa Clara was behind Jason Kidd on the depth chart. He shouldn't let this shotty run franchise kill his spirit.

LMAO! Nuff said. Durability is still an issue though.

How is Williams worse than Acie Law? That is something that needs to be answered.

Odd circumstances surrounding Williams' signing- just leaves his team with Orlando. Maybe I'm missing part of the story.

My understanding: He was relegated to fourth string PG after the big magic/wizards trade (Jameer/Arenas/Duhon); I think they waived him as favor so that he could actually get some playing time elsewhere. However, no contender was interested in him, so he took the Grizz's offer.

If he can play some decent minutes in a situation where Greivis and Conley are both playing badly or are injured then I don't really see the problem.
He has playoff experience. Besides TA he's the only guy whose played in any meaningful games. Sure he's old and washed up, but that kind of veteran presence is important for a young team. At worst it's a waste of some money.

Wasn't my post obvious? i am more of a Jwill d*ckrider, so i was here before any of you d*ckriders were here. SD is still the mod here?

Update me on the Grizzlies please. Last i remember is that Lorenzen Wright was still alive, fumbling a catch from a (behind the back) pass from JWill. :D

Update:
We might make the playoffs only to lose in the first round? So probably not much different from what you remember.
Hopefully Hollins lets JWill throw crazy passes and chuck 3s all over the place.
