At least one player is happy with the new Raptors regime.

Seldom-used forward Eric Williams, who's been vocal about his desire to be traded, said he's optimistic that with Wayne Embry in charge as interim GM, he may get his wish.

"If Wayne calls, everybody listens," Williams said in the locker-room before Sunday's game versus the visiting Sacramento Kings.

Embry took over as interim GM when Rob Babcock was fired on Thursday, and has since said if any player wants out, he'll do his best to accommodate those wishes.

Williams arrived in Toronto along with Aaron Williams in December of 2004 in the blockbuster trade that saw Vince Carter shipped to the New Jersey Nets.

Williams wasn't happy about the move. He was forced to leave behind his young son who had become settled in New Jersey, and it quickly became apparent that Williams wasn't a great fit in the Raptors' youth movement,

The 10-year NBA veteran has barely played this season, appearing in just 10 games, with one start, and he's averaging 1.6 points and 1.6 rebounds.
