Terrence Williams: I’m not a perfect person, I make a lot of mistakes... but still, I love those people who stay with me after knowing how I really am. Twitter

(Terrence) Williams, who joined the Kings as a reserve after being waived by Houston, averaged 8.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 18 games. He was immediately one of the best passers on the roster, a skill the Kings lack and have been trying to develop. "I don't want nothing to be drawn out until August, September or anything like that," Williams said of free agency. "I want to get it over with." Williams said he prefers to return to Sacramento. He fit in well with the team after stops in New Jersey and Houston in three seasons. Sacramento Bee

While Williams has done little to minimize the Kings' lack of frontcourt size and chronic shooting woes, his vision, playmaking and unselfishness have facilitated coach Keith Smart's ongoing attempts to break the team of its dribble-heavy, sluggish tempo. The emergence of Isaiah Thomas, coupled with the potential of Jimmer Fredette and Williams, has at least dropped the need for a pre-eminent point guard down a few spots. Size, length, shooting. Those are the priorities. A tremendous athlete with a muscled 220 pounds packed onto his 6-foot-6 frame, Williams' game is as old school as his favorite player, Magic Johnson. The former Louisville standout can defend, handle the ball and rebound, and he has a midrange game – a rarity in today's NBA. Mostly, though, he "loves a passer," and it shows. Outlet passes. Soft underhand tosses. Hard, one-bounce throws to cutters. Skip passes to the corners. "Terrence finds people in their rhythm," said Smart, "and that's not an easy thing to do." Sacramento Bee

Terrence Williams likes the Kings. And the Kings like him. And Williams wouldn't mind if he were a King beyond this season. The latest solid showing by Williams was Monday night when he scored 12 points to go with 12 rebounds and three assists as the Kings beat Minnesota, 116-108. "I'm just trying to do my part," Williams said. "I'm a free agent July 1. I'll take any calls from Sacramento. Hopefully we'll get something to work out. I love it here and I love playing here and I think I fit in well. So hopefully we can a long-term four-deal or a one year." Sacramento Bee

On Saturday, the Kings made yet another commitment to Williams when they signed him for the remainder of the season. With only 14 games remaining in this lockout-shortened season, the move should still be considered low risk, but Williams thinks he might have found a home in Sacramento. “Yeah, I don’t want to go no where,” Williams said while sitting in front of his locker before Wednesday’s game against San Antonio. “I like what the organization is doing and where they are headed. I think, especially with them getting a new arena, with coach (Keith) Smart and coach (Alex) English, and Bobby Jackson.” Cowbell Kingdom

Following a solid rookie season in New Jersey, things quickly fell apart in season number two. After playing in only 10 games for the Nets, Williams was quickly shipped to Houston on December 15, 2010 as part of a three-team deal. “I could say my rookie year, doing rookie things as far as being late twice and it coming on bad occasions,” Williams said about the Nets souring on him. “It’s not like we (were) winning and I was late. But losing and being late, it just adds fuel to the fire. The organization is already mad because they aren’t winning.” Cowbell Kingdom

Williams said after the game that he'd already signed to stay with the Kings the rest of the season. So after two teams in two-plus seasons, the 11th pick in the 2009 NBA Draft might have found a home with the Kings. Smart trusted Williams enough in Friday night's 104-103 win over the Utah Jazz to allow Williams to play "point forward" and direct the offense during key moments. "I did it a lot my rookie year (with New Jersey)," Williams said of running the point. "In Houston I didn't do it a lot but my rookie year. (Friday) was my first time doing in probably two years, a year and a half. At first it was a little uncomfortable but I found my stride and it was good." Sacramento Bee

The Houston Rockets have roughly eight players they have shopped around the NBA, so it’s safe to say they will be trading someone today. Terrance Williams, Jonny Flynn, Jordan Hill, Chase Budinger, Patrick Patterson, Luis Scola, Hasheem Thabeet and Courtney Lee have all be offered around, so it seems something will drop for the Houston Rockets today.

Things started quickly for Williams in 2011-2012. He played over 21 minutes in five of team’s first six games, but barely saw the court over the next two months. Then, seemingly out of the blue, Williams played 14 minutes in last Sunday’s loss to the Clippers before missing a practice and being held out of Tuesday’s loss to the Celtics. The next night, however, Williams was back in the lineup in a loss to the Raptors. “Nobody knows,” Williams said when asked why he stopped getting playing time initially. “That’s a mystery. It went from playing to the next day not, so it’s still a mystery. But, I don’t know, hopefully it gets turned around by the end of the season. If not, it don’t. But that’s the mystery everyone wants to know.” HoopsWorld

Williams said he and coach Kevin McHale haven’t spoken on the issue, but he insists that he is a “professional every day” and whenever his name is called, he’ll “take care” of his role, whatever that may be. However, McHale told reporters that it’s simply a numbers issue at the shooting guard and small forward positions where the Rockets also have Chandler Parsons, Kevin Martin, Chase Budinger and Courtney Lee.

The Houston Rockets have been active, but word is their asking price on players is very, very high. As one executive classified it; “they are asking the moon for role players”, but it is clear that Courtney Lee, Jonny Flynn and Terrence Williams all could be had. League sources also say that Jordan Hill and Chase Budinger are also obtainable players, but what Houston is looking for from those guys is way too much. HoopsWorld
