Knicks Interested in Jason Williams?

Well, that's just about the least surprising rumor of the summer. At this point, why not? Every other relevant point guard of the late 90's/early 00's has paid a visit, so interest in Jason Williams only makes sense. Anyway, here's the scoop from Tim Povtak at the Fanhouse (emphasis mine):

Point guard Jason Williams, who is trying to return to the NBA after a self-imposed, one-year retirement, will be in Memphis this weekend for a meeting and a workout with the Grizzlies.

Williams, 33, is expected to formally clear waivers Thursday, making him an unrestricted free agent and available to any team in the league. The Clippers, who had signed him to a contract a year ago before he retired, waived their exclusive right to him last week.

The Knicks also have shown interest in Williams, according to NBA sources. Williams, who last played for the Miami Heat (2005-2008), has been working out in Orlando, where he makes his off-season home.

For those of you keeping score, that's a visit with the Grizzlies, but mere interest from the Knicks. Either way, I wouldn't take this too seriously, or at least no more seriously than the interest Walsh has in Jamaal Tinsley. Meanwhile, I'll just go ahead and take the liberty of preemptively reporting that, according to my sources, the Knicks have interest in Damon Stoudamire, Nick Van Exel, and Shammond Williams.

can't fully confirm it

the video is a little too grainy. i can confirm that moochie norris has been siphoning the liquid from his doody for sustenance, though

I can deconfirm that

Moochie turned down playing for me in the CBA last season because he was still making money from his last NBA contract. Tell the truth.

the fact that i just commented these things scares me

when you’re making moochie norris doody jokes you’re really the lowest of the low

What nobody in Europe has an expiring? I hear teams in China are folding or on the verge of it. Maybe we can get a few players there? Anybody know Cantonese? Mandarin?

odds are

none of these older guards would be pursued until after sessions gets an offer, which should come at the beginning of august.

Someone call Tim Hardaway

that way you have a washed up PG AND and a storyline.

WaiT A MiNuTe!

LisTeN Jason.Williams AKA “White chocolate” is a very talented point gaurd plus since he’s coming off retirement that means he’s alot cheaper because he lost hype and can now build back up hype plus the knicks is a more of a passing, fasten/dashing, fashion (lol) team. He has elite passing skills, is very dangerous when it comes to fast breaking, and has an balanced off dribble shot, so… He might be old i see what u guys are saying but look on youtube and tell me if you can play him 3 on 3 with you on the opposite team(LMFAO) with the other pg’s like “session” idk he’S young but he doesn’t look like a strong pg to me like forexample “Nate Robinson” yet haven’t really seen what he can do but ima look into that 2day.
