Interesting.

Definitely like the move, we needed to solidify our bench if we were truly committed to developing our youth, which after striking out on big FAs it seems that's what the front office is doing.

That's somewhat surprising and a very good signing at that if you need immediate scoring off the bench. 22.2ppg per 36minutes with a 20 PER. My only concern is that we have too many score first type players now. Randle, Clarkson, Russell, Young, Kobe, Williams are all shoot first players.

We shipping Nick Young off to denver for Wilson Chandler?

That would be a great off season.

[AceFresh]

Solid moves these past couple days,
GJ.

Nice award but real meh player.

Did you heard it from somewhere or just making it up?

[RamonSessions7]

Can we afford this without shipping off either young or kelly? Cuz losing either or both of those guys would make me like this signing more

[The Prodigy]

I hope this means Swaggy is gone. Don't like the combination of those two.

Oh man I would love for this to happen. don't see any real incentive for Denver to do this though.

Considering Scott refused to play Young at the end of the year, i don't really consider Young much of a factor when it comes to our lineup outside of just taking up a little bit of cap space.

I just made that up.

[Blackfyre]

I feel like I'm going to throw up in my mouth. Another chucker ? Really ?

I think for the back up role we want him at, Lou will continue to thrive in his sixth man role like he did in Tor.

Based on the contract figure they have him signing for my guess is that we're either including N. Young and R. Kelly in the Hibbert acquisition or in a separate deal. At the very least we're moving Young, which I'm perfectly fine with doing. I'd like to see what our rook's got, Anthony Brown.

Considering he openly embraces the 3&D role, if he has a promising summer league and pre-season, I'd give him back up mins behind Kobe at SF and if we don't move Young then have him as the 3rd SF.

Hopefully Scott can control him. He's a good pickup if he's under control.

[MadNESS]

I was gonna say, I thought we only have 4.7 million after Hibbert's trade?

We must be moving some kind of salary?

Either way, I think it's solid with him running our second unit.

PG: D'Angelo Russell / Lou Williams
SG: Jordan Clarkson / (Lou Will) / Jabari Brown
SF: Kobe Bryant / Nick Young / Anthony Brown
PF: Julius Randle / Ryan Kelly / Larry Nance
Cc: Roy Hibbert / Tarik Black / Robert Sacre

We have to be moving some kind of salary somewhere, I wonder who it is.

[TyCobb]

Good pickup. Shocked by the multi-year commitment, but at least he knows his role and has had league-wide success with it. I'm interested in signing Hansbrough and trading Kelly and Nick Young to Toronto for Ross.

Spoiler:

This was basically his own personal meme when he signed with the Raptors, to the point that Lou himself even commented "I'm not even Somalian"
