Williams' Stay Near an End?

Ira Winderman's recent article shed a little light on how Jason Williams has been taking the recent trade rumors. Typically you'll see a player accept the business side of their sport and not really give any insight as to how they really feel about being in limbo like that. J-Will however has shown his discontent both on and off the court.

His play has been inconsistent and nowhere near the level we expected it to be considering it is a contract year. The lingering possibility of being traded has been getting to him and his family. Williams is actually taking the whole situation pretty personally " 'We're like some high-paid prostitutes anyway in this league," he said. "They just use and get rid of us whenever they want.'"

I think that's an interesting quote, because I can't help thinking there have to be more players who feel this way, especially when they are being shopped around. However, you usually the PC answers. Williams never has been much for political correctness though. Hopefully the trade deadline will come with either a productive trade for Miami or a promise of job security for Williams so this team's play can improve a bit.
