All-Star point guard Deron Williams was recently made available in trade by the Brooklyn Nets, and, according to Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski, the Sacramento Kings could be interested in acquiring his services.
But with Darren Collison playing impressive basketball through the first quarter of the season, you have to wonder: Is dealing for Williams really in the Kings' best interest?
Other than the All-Star pedigree and sexier name, D-Will doesn't offer a team anything in the way of the production one could have expected from him just a couple of years ago.
Various injuries—including extremely balky ankles—have limited him in the past two or three seasons, and, as a result, his statistical output has taken a sizable hit.
Collison, on the other hand, is having a career year starting at point guard in Sacramento. A career backup—sans brief stints as a starter in both Indiana and Dallas—the UCLA product is enjoying, by far, his best year as a pro.
