If Howard goes elsewhere, Williams is likely to leave New Jersey

You don't know that we would have won more/less games with DWill, so who knows, we may have ended up with Burks in either case. Also, you have no way of knowing, just like the rest of us, whether or not DWill would have stayed with the current group at the time, had the Jazz extended an offer to him when his contract was up.

you are right, there is no way of knowing exactly what will happen in the future. Congrats on getting up to speed with 16th and 17th century philosophy. We don't disagree here.

AND YET, I feel comfortable as **** with the assertion that with DWill we wouldn't have closed the year 8-20 (or whatever), and therefore, wouldn't have been in position to draft Burks. Comfortable. Like cashmere on my balls.
