Why New Jersey made this move: Three years ago, the Nets drafted Williams to serve as Jason Kidd’s understudy and eventual replacement. The left-hander had some nice moments, but mostly struggled with conditioning. In February, he became expendable when Kidd was dealt to Dallas for up-and-coming star Devin Harris. The speedy Harris wasn’t leaving the swamps of Jersey with his five-year, 42 million dollar contract extension beginning in October of 2008. So Williams was expendable. And the Nets got a pick for a disposable, underachieving player. Why Golden State made this move: Is New Jersey’s junk Golden State’s treasure? Nobody knows if Williams will ever develop because his first two seasons were so inconsistent. Here is what we know: Baron Davis has left and restricted free agent Monta Ellis remains unsigned. The Warriors needed a point guard and Williams’ potential is cheap insurance. Did the Nets give up too soon on Williams? How will he fare with the Warriors?

Hi, thanks for reading and dropping an opinion. I don't know if they let Ellis go. The Warriors do, however, have some options. They can let Ellis leave if his demands are unreasonable. Or they can sign him and play him at both guard spots. Personally, I'm unsure how the Warriors will look nexst year. Like everything with Nellie, it'll be interesting. Thanks for reading. report abuse
