Grant, who wanted out, was turned into Tillman and Springer.

Too much whinging, not enough talent. Way too high opinion of his own ability.

Why they gotta dump on Grant like this? Not cool!

"The fact they gave up a 2030 swap for Grant Williams and then dumped him as soon as they possibly could, which they were determined to dump him," said Tim MacMahon on the Brian Windhorst Podcast. "Not just about getting P.J. Washington, they wanted to be out of the Grant Williams' business. He rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.


Another element of this trade, a source tells DallasBasketball.com, is that Williams' personality had worn on the Mavs' locker room in recent months. In terms of on-court production, Williams had a solid start to the season but quickly fell off in his impact.

And at a fraction of the cost. Same for Tillman who is making what Hauser is. Is this the Mavs official handle? :lol:

The tip about Grant's personality wearing on the Mavs organization seems to come from a single anonymous source to a fan blogger.

I haven't seen any pushback from Grant's camp.

I relentlessly was claiming Hauser over grant Williams all last season in the same manner I was claiming Nesmith over the bums that coach IME played..

In fact now that I think about it the only skill grant Williams has over Sam Hauser is pump fakes.. :o :-?

That's the power of a Grant Williams -- almost single-handedly sent a franchise to the Dark Ages.

Honestly seems more of a Mavs and Luka issue than anything else.

One of Brad’s best moves was to get rid of this bum. He can hold his ground against bigger players thanks to his upper body strength. That is his only talent.
