Look..i know it seems he plays too much off the court and is distracted by a ton of outside stuff but keep in mind this is not his fault at all...it's the Laker Brass fault....how can you on the one hand say get rid of Young for enjoying and living that LA lifestyle when you just tried using that same lifestyle to woo LMA....we cant have it both ways..

When properly used and motivated Swaggy is an excellent player to have....

I'm on board to keep swaggy, but Lou joining is a pickle...

I'm on board to keep swaggy, but Lou joining is a pickle...

Why?

Lou and Swaggy off the bench will keep us going strong...Lou is very hard to guard if he and Swaggy are clicking at the same time..I dont see us losing too many games,.,Lou also gets to the free throw.,A LOT..if I'm not mistaken he was 4th overall in the league last year at getting to the line...that's major tbh....

Getting to the free-throw line is the most efficient way to score in the NBA.

And that brings us to Lou Williams...

“Shot fakes? I don’t pump fake,” Williams said after Sunday’s victory, in which he scored 16 points in 18 minutes. “Nah, I just create contact.”

Williams’ methodology is a little different than we are used to in Toronto. He does not have the series of moves and counter-moves that DeRozan has, nor the head-down, just-try-to-stop-me approach that Lowry uses. Williams’ ability to draw fouls is as much both art and science.

It is effective. Statistics from John Schuhmann at NBA.com show.

“I don’t want to tell any of his secrets. He does a great job of drawing contact, initiating contact with his body,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. “I think defensive players look at him as slender and slight and [think that they] can take advantage of him. He uses that against them most of the time. He has his tricks.”

“I played with Allen Iverson a couple of years,” Williams added. Williams played with Iverson for the first 1½ seasons of his career, and then again briefly in 2009-10. “I just watched how he would use his size to his advantage.

Being able to get to the line, no matter where you are on the court, will always be a weapon.“He’s cool under pressure,” Casey said. “He can get his own shot most times without screens, without help. We have all of the confidence in the world in Lou.

Break down the positions for me, assuming clarkson and russell are starting.. Is lou playing the point and swaggy the 2?

Lol...what are you knee deep in some pussy? That's the only reason I'm doing this shit for you..you better be in some ass yo....

Most of it depends on Matchups...but Nick can play either SG or SF....whereas Lou is a point....but lets say we wanted to go totally small..depending on Matchups you could see...Lou at PG, Clarkson at SF, Nick at PF, and Russell at SG with Black at Center...that would be our ultra fast lets run run run line up for special occasions..

Most times it will be Lou backing up Russell of the bench and Swaggy playing SF or backing up either Kobe or Clarkson....

:lol

Here is where i disagree with you, I dont see Clarkson or Swaggy playing the 3, both are too small imho. They are all guards at the max, as regular as Wes Johnson was, I kinda wish he had stayed because he was long, and can somewhat defend them stretch 4's and 3s.

So instead of dealing Kobe for the best Center in the game you want to keep him so you can continue to gamble and win easy money by betting against them.

He's had no talent and a new coach every year, I don't fault him for the losses. Kobe has never been successful when his teams have lacked talent.

I'll answer that,,,fuck yeah I do that,,,I would drive Duncan to the airport myself. We'll celebrate his accomplishments when he retires but in the end its all about winning and business. LeBron would give the Spurs a new 5 year window of title caliber basketball with Leonard and Aldridge,,,Only player I wouldn't trade for LeBron would be Anthony Davis,,,,

Based on what..what is Duncan producing on court to deserve such consideration..if the Spurs valued his ass they wouldnt be low balling his ass and paying him shit to play for them....obviously he doesnt have real value to the Spurs..but then again if he's willing to allow them to fuck over him..then why the fuck not

Oh man, I can tell you abandoned logic and sensibility long ago. Explaining these types of things to you is going to be difficult, and frankly probably not worth it. Let me just start by saying, in the world of the NBA, compensation does not = value. TD was not low-balled, rather he knows he functions as part of a greater whole, and he is willing to make sacrifices to make the whole even greater.
