Michael-Carter Williams is chasing history

Thanks to GaussianWavepacket over on reddit for this gem.

MCW's 2017-2018 NBA season is among the worst single-season campaigns in history. Let's look at his stats:

43 G, .314 FG%, .261% 3P%, .333 2p%, .413 TS%

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/7wuuew/michaelcarter_williams_is_chasing_history/

How the owner and gm can support a coach who truly believes MCW is an asset and allows Clifford to continuously give him minutes over a promising lottery pick is mind blowing. 

I would say maybe this had been one big undercover tank job but I don't think Clifford would hospitalize himself over it.

I said it when we signed him, I absolutely wanted no part of him.  Dude is trash.  I will never understand a) how he ever won rookie of the Year and b) how tf he managed to get a contract from us this off-season.  He should never be allowed to touch a basketball again in his life...  it's an insult to the game itself.

Meanwhile, Monk rots on the bench, because Clifford.  fug that guy.

I know you like to blame Howard, but dude literally said he will mentor Henangomez. It's clear Clifford is the problem. That and the bench.

Oh yeah, if I haven't been clear, i have stated repeatedly over the last few years that i think clifford is a huge problem, and I just can't figure out how his job goes unchallenged with how poorly he coaches.  So, we're on the same page there.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
