The Nets have sent 23-year old SG/SF Terrence Williams to the Springfield Armor of the D-League for repeated violations of team policy. Williams has played in 8 games (0 starts) for the Nets this season and he is averaging 19.9 minutes, 6.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. He has now played in 86 games (9 starts) in his first two years in the NBA and he is averaging 22.4 minutes, 8.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. Head coach Avery Johnson has sent former first round pick Terrence Williams and the rest of the Nets a lesson, that B.S. is not going to be tolerated on his watch.

UPDATE: (12/8/2010) - The Nets have brought back Terrence Williams from the D-League. He played in 3 games in the D-League and he averaged 28.0 points, 11.3 rebounds and 10.7 assists per game. He is likely to rejoin the rotation starting tonight but Avery Johnson isn’t going to put up with any more crap out of him going forward.

Backup point guard Chris Quinn has been awful since coming over in the Rafer Alston trade with the Heat. Quinn has played in 19 games (0 starts) for the Nets this season and he is averaging 8.8 minutes, 2.4 points, 0.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. Quinn is normally a good outside shooter but he is only making 36.6% of his shots from the floor this year. Until he starts shooting better Quinn will likely still see limited minutes.

With the Nets having a terrible season you would think that they would give SG/SF Terrence Williams more of a chance to show what he can do. But, the first round pick is only shooting 36.5% from the floor and that has kept him on the bench. Williams also has some “attitude” problems according to reports. He has played in 56 games (1 start) for the Nets this season and he is averaging 19.5 minutes, 6.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. Williams better get his act together on and off the court if he wants to ever be a starter in the future for the Nets.

SG/SF Bobby Simmons is making $11,242,666 bucks this season which makes his play this season even more disturbing. Simmons has played in 23 games (2 starts) for the Nets this season and he is averaging 17.2 minutes, 5.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. He is only shooting 35.9% from the floor and 31.7% from three point range this year. Simmons has been so awful that even the Nets have decided to keep him at the end of the bench. Unless he starts shooting better the Nets will continue to cut his minutes on the court.

With the Nets sitting at 3-36 on the season they have decided that everyone except center Brook Lopez is on the trading block. That includes starting point guard Devin Harris who the Nets no longer consider as a core player. He has played in 28 games (25 starts) for the Nets this season and he is averaging 34.2 minutes, 16.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game. Harris’ shooting is way off this season as he is only hitting 38.5% of his shots from the floor and 21.1% from the three point line. The Nets had better make sure they get a nice return for Harris who is much better than he is showing right now and he could make them look really bad down the road.
