While summer's an uncertain time for just about any old NBA player, some folks on the lower rungs of the league find themselves on land less stable than T.J. Ford's neck. Two of those fellows this year: Shawne Williams and Marcus Williams.

Shawne, already on Larry Bird's DO NOT WANT list, met trouble one more time over the weekend. Williams was stopped by police for illegally tinted windows and not wearing his belt. His passenger, though, got pinched for marijuana possession. This is not the first time Williams has been with a buddy who ended up in cuffs (and Shawne himself has been in a bit of a tight situation before).

In New Jersey, the fuzz hasn't lead to Marcus Williams' eminent dismissal -- Keyon Dooling has. The Nets landed Dooling in a sign-and-trade this morning. Orlando will receive a $3.3 million trade exception. Williams will receive lots of ink on HoopsHype over the next few days (or weeks). With Devin Harris installed as default starter and Dooling as a plus-sub, there's just no room for the alleged thief steal of the 2006 draft.
