Recently, former NBA player Delon Williams participated in Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson's show "All the Smoke", in which he was asked to pick five players (four starters and one sixth) from his career teammates and form a super team by himself.
Delon's answer was: Joe Johnson, Garnett, Pierce, Nowitzki, Boozer.
Barnes had been around to remind Delong if he had forgotten a person, at which point Delong remembered that he had been teammates with James and Owen for a while, and could only hide his face and laugh in embarrassment, and then explained: "I have only been a teammate with him for less than five months, so I didn't expect him." But he should definitely be on the list, can you add another place, because Irving should also be on the list. ”
Delong played in the league for 12 seasons, playing for the Jazz, Nets, Mavericks (now the Lone Rangers) and cavaliers.
In 2011, the Jazz traded Delong to the Brooklyn Nets, and then Joe Johnson, Garnett, Pierce and others formed a terrifying big four combination, but in the end the Nets still failed to win the championship, and Delong also reached a buyout agreement with the Nets in 2015, joining the Dallas Mavericks with a 2-year, $10 million contract, but at this time, Delon was no longer at his peak, in 2017, the Mavericks announced that they had cut Delong. In the end, Delong joined the Cleveland Cavaliers as a free agent.
Dron, who came to the Cavaliers, has been reduced to a substitute for the team, that season, Delong played 24 regular season games for the Cavaliers, averaging 7.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, although the Cavaliers also entered the Finals that season, but ultimately lost to the Warriors with Durant, Curry and Thompson, and since then Deron has gradually disappeared from the NBA.
Compared with the several seasons with the Nets and Jazz, Delong, who played for the Lakers for a total of 5 months, is indeed not a good memory, because at that time the Cavaliers had James and Irving, although James was the No. 3 position of the team at the time, but many times, James was the commander of this team on the court, and at that time, the Cavaliers team, in the guard line, there was an offensive weapon such as Irving, when Delon was at the end of his career, the athleticism had a serious decline, between James and Irving. There certainly won't be much play, and perhaps in Delon's memory, he has forgotten that he once played for the Cavaliers.
