Grant Williams: Not even with them anymore but this C’s discourse is wild. Everyone has a right to an opinion but JT and JB are Superstars. They are able 2 have bad games but we’ve all witnessed them both takeover. Don’t let recent events cloud your eyes from what they’ve done and accomplished.

Harrison gave up control of the Mavs' first-round picks from 2027 through 2030 while making that series of successful trades, as well as the sign-and-trade deal for forward Grant Williams that didn't work out well. He has said that he believes he built a team for a "three- to four-year time frame" to contend with titles, although injuries ruined the Mavs' hopes this season. "We believe in the move we made," Harrison said when asked how the logic of a time frame that ends as the team enters a stretch when it doesn't control its first-round picks is in the franchise's long-term best interests. "You obviously don't, and that's fine. You're entitled to your opinions, but we're excited. ... I think once we win, then that will change your mind."

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams beamed when Rookie Wire asked him about his first pair of shoes. Like many folks who participated in this project, his tone shifted from dry and media-savvy to giddy and excited. Williams said his family all loves sneakers, and always have. Growing up, he benefitted from wearing the same size as his father. "I remember my first ever pair so well it was the 'Candy Cane' Jordan 14s. I think it was towards the end of my middle school or early high school years," Williams said. "I remember it happening because that was the first time that I was able to choose for myself. Every other time I had shoes, I would borrow my dad’s for like a few hours. Our family was a huge 11s household, like anything 11s was our thing, especially after Space Jam came out."
