Williams, who is getting paid $18.46 million this season and is due at least $19.75 million for each of the following three seasons, returned to Brooklyn's starting lineup Saturday after six games in a bench role and talked about his struggles afterwards.
The 29-year-old point guard expressed his frustration with the ankle injuries, and his inability to stay healthy this season. And he also admitted to the New York Post that he's often too hard on himself. “That’s what I’ve got to stop doing,” he said. “I don’t know. That’s just me. That’s how I am. Somehow, I’ve got to do it.”
Even with the Nets (20-25) playing much better this month, one must believe that they're going to need much more out of their star point guard over the new few years to have any chance at getting past teams like Miami, Indiana and Chicago out East. That will require him to find a way to stay out on the floor, and regain the confidence he had in his Utah days when he's out there.
