Jason Williams signs with the Phoenix Suns for part of the Mid Level Exception--- roughly around $3M per year with the duration of the contract running for 2 or 3 years. Come on Jason, you are not getting any younger and this will be the perfect team for your farewell performance. A team that will be running and gunning night in and night out. Not to mention, you'll also be reunited with Shaquille O'Neal whom you won a ring with in Miami.With the mileage also up there (10 years in the league now, 33 years old) it's not unacceptable to think that White Chocolate can adjust to back-up minutes, say around 15 to 20 per outing and fill-in whenever Steve Nash needs rest or is injured. Sure, sure it's he isn't much of an improvement defensively but definitely he can do the point guard role a la the Canadian Captain whenever his number is called.
So what i will do the rest of this season and the offseason is pray that Williams believes that he can still help a team and that the Phoenix Suns will be the best team for him. Already there are rumors that he will sign with the Orlando Magic next year with the flashy and error-prone point choosing to play for a Florida team because that's the state which he calls home. That is not entirely bad news as he joins a young cast of players that include Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis and can even outplay the undersized and overrated Jameer Nelson for some stretches but Williams in Phoenix and their fast paced style will simply reignite and reborn Jason's career--- flashbacks to the Sacramento days and you'll know what i mean.
i don't know how fond Steve Kerr (general manager, Phoenix Suns) is of Jason and if he thinks the latter will be a right fit... The playoffs is not yet even over but i already have these wild ideas for the off-season.
