Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams joined our Mavs Step Back Podcast on Thursday to talk about his fit alongside Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, his team's bonding experience during a 12-day overseas preseason trip, expanding his role and much, much...
over the offseason, adding seven new players on their 15-man roster. Arguably their biggest addition was Grant Williams, who was acquired from the Boston Celtics in July through a sign-and-trade.to talk about a variety of topics, including how he ended up in Dallas on a new four-year, $56 million deal.
Given that Williams shares an agent with Luka Doncic in Billy Duffy, paired with the fact that he was wearing Doncic's signature shoes throughout last season, we wondered if the sign-and-trade had been targeted well before this past summer. Although Williams says the move wasn't premeditated, he gave a candid explanation for why he chose to wear Doncic's signature shoes.
"In terms of the actual trip, I thought it was crucial," Williams said."We may not have experienced the outcomes that we wanted, but we were able to not only get to know one another as people, because we spent so much time with each other off the floor, but we also got to know each other in a foreign environment where we were all kinda concerned, trying to figure out what's going on, what to do ... you get comfortable with one another.
"The physicality, the toughness, the defensive mindset, as well as the 3-point shooting," Williams said about what he brings to the table alongside Doncic, Kyrie Irving and the rest of his new teammates."And then the in between ... I've prepared to play the game of basketball my entire life, and I think it's time for a way of just kind of expanding and growing. That's something I'll have to do for this team to help us compete and help us win.
