Rockets getting Lou Williams for Brewer
Rockets are sending Corey Brewer and a 1st round pick to the Lakers for Lou Williams.
I guess Rockets couldn't get a deal for Wilson chandler. Good pick up for them with Lou.
Damn, really nice get for HOU. Brewer just was not doing anything and this gives them an even more potent guard rotation with Harden, Gordon, Lou and Bev.
A first round pick is a lot to give up for Lou, but basketball wise looks like a good grab. Another team in SA's division improves.
LA basically just bought the 27th pick in the draft for 500K.
This trade could have a negative affect on the Rockets chemistry because Williams is a bad fit. He overlaps with Gordon and though they'll likely split touches, Williams will play less minutes and they'll be small on the wings.
I guess they couldn't get Chandler for the same package, but he'd have been a much better fit.
Maybe Lakers will drop Brewer. He's a player the Spurs have wanted for years.
Lou gonna murder our back court.![]()
Everything I read about Lue Williams is that his game doesn't translate in the playoffs.
No brainer really. Anyone wouls be better than Brewer and Lou happens to be a top 3 bench player in the nba this year.
Not if it has a negative impact on chemistry. They're not an overly talented team, which makes strong chemistry especially important.
Maybe he helps tilt a series versus the Spurs (though I'm skeptical he'll get the minutes/usage to make them significantly more explosive), but he's a terrible fit against the Warriors.
Sucks to see that so many decent enough guards are being swooped up. Teams with an already better guard situation are bolstering their depth.
NO (likely playoff team) bolstered their team in a big way, HOU (definitely a playoff team) added to their already deep guard rotation and now UTA (another solid PO team) adding to their guard depth.
Spurs probably can't go crazy with a trades, but getting some depth (even if they *might* not play) is a damn good idea. Spurs can't afford to fall behind in that guard department any more than they already are.
Chemistry? Lol. Scrubs like lou live to play the spurs. I wouldn't be surprised if he's the reason we don't get past Houston in the playoffs.
Jazz and Rockets aren't trading for 3rd stringers though. They are upgrading their back up PG position. It's pointless to trade for a new 13th-15th man. IMO
We already have the guards and a better younger play maker in Murray. We don't need to trade .
And a 1st round pick.
Literally. What a ing joke![]()
Harden, Gordon, Lou & Bev are way better than TP, Mills, Manu, Murray.
I have to agree with the dude here.
Well, this trade deadline is turning out like so far for the Spurs. Our guard rotation is so weak and our compe ion is loading up. Nearly every Western Conference team + whatever team is likely to make the finals has superior guard play to ours.
Pop should have been playing Murray. I have no idea what the he's doing with Parker, Mills, Manu, Green.
Get on the phone with Chicago and at least offer Green, Mills + a pick or whatever else they might want for Jimmy Butler. If the Bulls say no, no problem, at least make an offer.
