Grant Williams SPEAKS OUT On Mavericks Drama…
After the Boston Celtics and Charlotte Hornets game Grant Williams speaks out on what really happened in Dallas as far as him being a teammate in the locker room him being annoying and and just the the titles and tags that are put on him as far as being just a chatter box and
Just someone that just talks and gets under your skin and he goes into detail explain that in a new environment he likes to just you know be vocal and let it be known that he’s here for the guys and he’s not doing it from a bad place
And he’s coming from a good place regardless of how you take it so we’re going to break down that quote from Grant Williams and try to understand what went wrong WR in Dallas why the player who we saw in Boston locking down Kevin Durant and just being a great
Defensive wing for the Boston Celtics and how it it turnning him just not working out for the Dallas Mavericks we’re going to break that down and a few other things in this video but how’s it going everybody my name is Marcel Martin this is Mavericks digest bringing you

And if you’ve been on this channel if you’ve been a subscriber of this channel for a while you know we’ve been covering Grant Williams from the trade deadline all the way up until today and how he was a player that we really saw flashes of just that just defensive Wing in
Boston where he was helping them in the playoffs he was locking out Kevin Durant he was taking on the toughest assignment he was at the free throw line telling him I’mma make both and then he didn’t make both you know he’s had his moments in Boston but he really didn’t impress
The league with his defense and for the Dallas Mavericks we thought that we were going to trade for someone that you know as advertised there a defensive Wing someone who can create his own shot but really be a defensive anchor so players like Luca and Kyrie can just focus more
On the offense and things can flow a bit more more freely in the beginning of the Season we did get that in Grant Williams things looked good and then slowly but surely he fell out of favor he wasn’t in the lineup he was coming off the bench
And then we trade him at the trade deadline for PJ Washington it cost us a first round pick I understand not many people are okay with that but that’s what happened and since that trade more and more reports have been coming out from Grant Williams I mean they already
Said he was annoying people in Boston specifically Jaylen Brown apparently they didn’t really get along even though Grant says that they’re good friends other people say that they don’t really get along Jason Tatum would always speak in the defense of Grant Williams saying he’s a great teammate which I believe
Can be true but I also believe that two things can be true you can be a good teammate but you can also just rub me the wrong way and just get under my skin and be annoying the assistant GMS spoke about a story where in practice a little
Five on five scrimmage Grant Williams was taunting poking and prodding Luca dones getting in his face getting loud saying you were you you you didn’t come here to practice you weren’t taking this serious to the point where luga stopped talking and went on a 20 and6 run by
Himself against Grant Williams and his Squad and you can say that’s good competitiveness I wasn’t there obviously but the way that the assistant GM you know told the story it sounds like it really wasn’t like a hey man you got me revved up I was getting buckets thank
You for pushing me and getting me to that where I’m sure that’s what Grant Williams was trying to do the the story was more told more so told in a way of Grant Williams was being annoying he was running his mouth yet again he was getting under luuka donic and just just
Pissed him off right and then we see him in in Charlotte where things are a lot better for him I haven’t heard or seen anything about him being annoying still he talks highly of his teammates and they talk highly of him he has been playing a little bit better in Charlotte
Since he got there which is which is great for him but while he was in Dallas we were questioning his his conditioning whether or not he was in the right shape to play whether or not he was a gel with the team that all kind of came after the
Fact he was traded we kind of thought he just was regressing maybe the system wasn’t working for him but sometimes off court stuff can really affect your on court ability to play and that’s just probably what happened with Grant Williams but to quote Grant Williams and what he said after the yesterday two
Days ago game against the Boston Celtics this’s right here he said when I first get to a new environment I say I talk a lot sometimes it might annoy you and other times you might love it William so wasburn I’m going to be there in support
Of you as a teammate as a man I’m going to have your back on and off the floor and that’s the number one important thing no matter if I’m annoying no matter if I piss people off sometimes they know it’s coming out from the right mentality the right place as I continue
To grow I’ll continue to get better with it but I try my best to be a leader with my Approach every single day and this is not a grant William slander video in all reality I think it’s a little bit messed up that someone that is generally a good
Guy I mean he’s part of the nbpa you know he’s part of the association for the players he’s been known to to play board games with members of the Boston Celtics staff out in Parks you know he got very involved when he was in Boston
And then right as he came to Dallas he wanted to get really involved with the city of Dallas doing a lot of stuff for for for the community so it’s safe I think it’s fair to say that Grant Williams isn’t a bad guy at all as the
Media tries to paint him out to be annoying yes but a bad guy no and it comes from a good place and I don’t know the guy personally but I think what he’s saying is true he wants to push his guys he wants to be vocal but at the same
Time it isn’t always resp received well the people in Boston it was kind of a mixed bag obviously Jason T’s very vocal about his support for Grant Williams Jaylen Brown there’s always a question mark there of what is true what isn’t true and then in Dallas we saw how you
Know we there was that picture of Kyrie Irving on the bench giving Grant Williams a side eye like yeah yeah man you kind of talking a lot you know we all saw that picture and then of course the story about Luca dones just locking in and dropping 20 to six on on Grant
Williams in his Squad in practice and I’m sure there’s a lot of other stories as well the the less exciting story which is really just petty petty reporting from tin McMahon saying that Grant Williams changed his shoe from Luca shoe to Tatum shoe because he was
Upset with Luka witch if that’s the case shame on you Grant Williams That’s Petty if it’s not the case shame on you Tim McMahon for making something out of nothing the man just wants to play ball and even though he only played for about half a season with the Dallas Mavericks
He did try his best he did show up every day he may not have been in the best shape but he was he he wanted to be a part of what we got going on and it just wasn’t the right system it wasn’t the right team and that happens with a lot
Of players but he is having somewhat of a decent season for this year averaging about 10 points four rebounds two assists shooting 45% from the floor 36% from three and 74% from the free throw line it isn’t the best that he can do but with a new environment that he’s in
Over there in Charlotte it’s going to take a while for the Kings to work themselves out I mean he’s already had some monster games just the other day I saw he was playing the center position where he actually had about what like 16 18 points and a good amount of boards as
Well he’s not a bad player he’s not a bad guy annoying sure you can think of him as your little brother who just always wants to tag along every time you want to leave the house your mom and dad tell you all right bring your brother that’s that’s who Grant Williams
Probably is he probably isn’t like most other NBA players in the league this time you know this day and age of you know playing video games hanging out going to clubs I think I honestly think Grant Williams is probably the type of guy who reads a good book every night
You know and again being vocal being a little little bit of a pest trying to push guys it can be received the wrong way you can see it in players like I’m sorry like like Draymond Green right super vocal to people that are not Warriors fans he’s very annoying you
Hate to see him but he has that value in his team he’s he’s like I said he’s very vocal he’s loud I’m sure he pushes Stu not maybe annoyingly like Grant Williams but he is that vocal person on that team and the team accepts that they welcome
That and it works for them you have other players like Dylan Brooks where we saw him be somewhat like Grant Williams being vocal and I’m not too sure if he was annoying in the background of background of things but we saw what happened when he was a little bit too
Vocal on the Grizzlies poking that bear getting LeBron James face next season he’s out you know he’s he’s off the team he’s now playing for the usou Rockets where you don’t hear those grumblings it’s safe to say that in the NBA certain personalities mesh better me mesh better
Than Talent you might be a good player but if no one wants to play with you if you’re annoying it just doesn’t work however if you’re not the best player but if you’re a great fit if you just gel well with the guys then yeah you could stick around you can you could
Have a long career Grant Williams I appreciate all that you did for the Dallas Mavericks I hope you nothing but the best in Charlotte hopefully we don’t have to keep reporting on Grant Williams but he was a Maverick this did pertain to the team he wanted to come into this
New environment and just make his presence known by being vocal being that guy in the locker room as a voice it just wasn’t the right time it wasn’t the right place and it wasn’t received well but that’s all we got for today thank you for making this far to the video

Grant just a goofy ass unlikeable dude, man
🔥🔥🔥🫡🫡
Dang!!
Luka got mad because someone had the nerve to call out his terrible defense,and his all time ball dominance😂Greatest stat padder of all time.
I like the post before I even watch 🤷🏾♂️
Didn't grant Williams just sign not trade???
one game lost and right away gossips and negative vibes……………lame
3:03 Love Luka, but from the practice story. That just makes Luka sound like a b*tch. So hes (most likely, if you watch the games you can tell) being lazy as hell, and Grant wanted him to give effort. He does but then spites Grant for it. Love Luka but man hes SOOOOO god damn lazy and immaturr.
Damn still making videos on this scrubb!!!
Marrcel are you sporting pink fingernail polish? Hey man, it's noticable ………. just asking. 😂
At the end of the day main reason he got traded was the fact that he became a defensive liability out there and couldn't hit anything. He became Timmy.
He had to wait two weeks for us to lose another game first lol
Grant Williams, who didn’t start for the Celtics, got lucky enough to get signed with the Mavericks and play with 2 generational players. He played good for 1 month, then he became a total failure. Kidd gave him starter minutes but he averaged 3 ppg. He always talked too much and he was never that dude. He’s that lucky guy that never should be in the NBA.
Its okay and needed to be vocal and push your teammates. Its not okay when you are playing like shit and coming into camp out of shape. That was Grant's issue. He wasn't producing enough to talk the way he was talking.
Better shooter than pj
So… I guess Grant Williams is next in the line of disgruntled former Mavs? Grant get in line with KP, C. Wood and JaVale over there.
I’m not sure what happened with the Mavs, but he sure is annoying asf now. Bro you in NC stfu already😂
That "I'ma make both" and clanks both was hilarious. Love the confidence though
Bro no matter what, don’t quit.
You will be successful at this
You’re really good
It’ll just take a while to build up a following
Maybe years
Grant should not try to be a leader. He must to be a better version of himself, to improve his character and to shout out his mouth much more. More facts and less words.
trade Kleber ffs 😭🤌
Get a better microphone., please.
