Jason Williams has been the target of much Trade Machine action; his expiring contract added to underwhelming performance and Miami's inability to rebuild with Shaquille O'Neal soaking up cap space has left him stranded in the middle of the Valley of the Most Likely to Be Pawned Off With a Draft Pick For a Fallen All-Star Making Too Much Money. From this quote in the Miami Herald, it seems he is at peace with his station.

"We're like some high-paid prostitutes anyway in this league, man. They just use us and get rid of us whenever they want."

At $8.9 million for 82 nights a year... yeah, that's high-paid alright. In fairness to high-paid prostitutes, though: Williams has been awful this year. With 39% shooting and only 10 points per 40 minutes (absurd for a point guard on any team), he's been a trotting disaster, surpassed in suck only by exiled counterpart Smush Parker. If a high-paid prostitute performed this poorly, she'd be without clients. So crummy NBA players have it better in that respect -- it's guaranteed the Johns will keep callin'.

See, any job at pays me that much...I would keep my mouth shut...but in my 10 years and buy a nice piece of real estate some where and be set for life...

It's such bad taste to complain...

The Miami Heat right now are in a very big problem becayse their players aren't playing very well. Wade can put a up very good points but he needs help from other players like Williams, Davis and O'neal. Williams this year is playing crummy he doesn't shoot the rock very well. Hopefully, he will be traded at the end of the trade deadline

This gave me a pretty good laugh. If he was playing like an all star, he would probably try to renegotiate his contract for more money. If he was comparing himself to a prostitiute in this sense, then I would believe him. Players can not expect loyalty from ownership when every time they play well they want even more money, or threaten to leave.

It's a two way street with highly paid pro athletes. They make the big bucks, then ownership gets rid of them when they're shot.

This a bad comparison, Man boys grow up wanting to play basket no for what team. I guarantee you no little girls grow up wanting to be a hooker.
