id assume this has to do with his ailing feet problems.

Also the fact that he was completely out of the rotation. I wonder if he is gone for good or will try to come back with another team.

um, he was just contemplating retiring due to his foot problems.


then again,..

Jason Williams has left the Magic, according to a report by John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com.

Magic president of basketball operations Otis Smith said that the matter would be dealt with when the team returns from its road trip.

maybe he just wants to play? lol. i just read somewhere his feet were killing him.

Asked if Williams has asked for his release, Smith said, "Not so much in those terms. You say his 'release,' we're not into giving guys their release. He signed a contract to play basketball for the Orlando Magic, and we're expecting him to uphold his end of that deal."

Asked if Williams is balking at his limited playing time or is facing a personal issue, Smith said, "From what I gather, he's facing more of a personal issue. I don't know if he wants more playing time. That was talked to him about before we signed him. When we signed him, we signed him as a third point guard. That didn't necessarily change.

The Grizzlies are interested in signing Jason Williams after he clears waivers. Williams, a former member of the Grizzlies, was released by the Magic this week.

Memphis is motivated to sign Williams and are considered favorites unless he gets an offer from a title contender.

Would be cool for Grizzlies fans to free their White Chocolate jerseys from the dust, but he won't sereiously contribute anything to the team that signs him.

That would be cool if he goes back to Memphis.
