Lakers: Lou Williams to the Lakers

[RsxPiimp]

Free agent Lou Williams has reached agreement on a deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, league source tells RealGM.

[Mugen]

holy crap I'm gonna love watching the Lakers next year

[midnightpulp]

And for 3 years at 7 million per.

Don't get this at all. 28 years old and struggles to shoot 40%.

Another chucker

Manu only shot 42% last year. My sources have informed me that Pop is over in some bath - house in Greece trying to coax Manu out of retirement.

Lakers must have a plan to trade either Nick or sell high on Clarkson. Don't see Russell, Kobe, Clarkson all gettin PT but then again, they're probably expecting Kobe to miss a lot of games next season.

Lakers don't get the 1st tier guys anymore. They have to settle for third tier free agents.

Manu only shot 42% last year.

Per 36 minutes:

Ginobili: 13.4 shot attempts, 6.6 assists
Williams: 16.6 shot attempts, 2.9 assists

So you're in favor of signing a 6'1" shooting guard for 3 years? That just means less minutes for Clarkson at SG, which I thought is the position you wanted him at after Kirby retires.

Also, Williams isn't a terrible player and makes the Lakers slightly better, meaning you might win too many games next season and lose your top 3 pick.

Bizarre move, imo.

It's definitely not a gross overpay. Lakers just trying to string together a workable team until 2016.

[RsxPiimp]

Clarkson is severely overrated. He's not part of the the Lakers future. He put up great numbers for a lottery team. Just like Meeks. Just like Ellington.



Lakers should sell high and trade him.


7/21 is a uva bargain.

Lakers just trying to get a tank squad together so they can draft another PG next year.

Insurance for when Kobe goes down. I thought they were bringing back Ellington.

Yeah, but he needs minutes to make a good impression. No team is going to bite on a player who is losing minutes to a rookie PG and Lou Williams.

And I don't think any team bites this off-season, for the reasons you mentioned.

Yeah. that's what I thought.

Clarkson is a legit combo guard... and will prove it again this year.

[Double-Up]

Per 36 minutes:

Ginobili: 13.4 shot attempts, 6.6 assists
Williams: 16.6 shot attempts, 2.9 assists

Logic evades him, don't waste your time posting actual statistics.

[Raven]

Clarkson, Bryant, Young AND Lou?

[Buddy Mignon]

Logic evades him, don't waste your time posting actual statistics.

Suck a lil .

Christ, we could snatch Jabbar out of a matter transfer unit, circa '71 and you'd on it.

You're telling me you like this move?

Lou isn't a bad player, and for a team who is interested in protecting their top 3 pick, he might produce a couple of wins that should've been loses.

Per career

Manu 4 rings, World championship, Olympic championship

lakersground is probably circlejerking over this and calling it a solid move.

We're not doing that and you know it.
