I don't want this to turn into a GM question thread - just passing along the qoute from the guy.

Fair enough, but we have discussed this a lot and I think we mostly agree that Williams was the driving force behind the acquisition. I can assure you it wasn't Snyder. If one wants to suggest that this points to larger problems in our player acquisition model I would agree, but I really don't think this was a Jeff George situation.
