[...] Sekou Smith, a writer at Hawks Blog, finds the title of HoopsWorld article to be a bit of a misnomer and cites some evidence that the projected offer/deal was simply not true. Smith goes on to provide his take on several different scenarios for the former UNC standout. [...]

Jay, do you know how much more you have to score more than somebody in an 82 game season to average 5 or more points? Look at overall points scored.

JC, now that’s what I’m saying. The problem that people don’t realize is no one wants Marvin. That’s the reason we can’t make a deal and why he isn’t signed yet.

Is there any way we can do a sign and trade with Marvin and trade him for Caron Butler. We could sign Marvin for less and to a long term deal, both of which would intrigue the Wizards. Caron would make 10 for the next couple of years but give us more flexibility at the 3. We could also backload the contract if that would help get Marvin sign quicker and steer him away from that 1 year deal.

Rod,

No, we don’t need to argue. You’ve made your feelings about Williams crystal clear in a previous posting and nothing’s going to change that. So be it.

But consider this: as Chicago’s leading scorer, Gordon averaged 20.7 ppg; only 7 ppg more than Williams’ 13.9 ppg. As NY & GS’s 2nd leading scorer, Crawford averaged 19.7 ppg; 6 more than Williams. And as the Lakers’ 4th leading scorer, Odom averaged 11.3 ppg–2 ppg less than Williams.

So as you can see, there’s no need to argue that Williams, while he may not be great (yet), is far from being as bad as you would purport.

Bottom line–he’ll be with the Hawks next year, either on a Qualifying Offer or a new long-term contract, and there’s no need to argue about that either.
