not sure hes a starter or a point guard

[fendilim]

I'd love to get Lou here. He's a solid scorer off the bench.

[OrlandO]

76ers' guard Lou Williams will opt out of his contract and will become a free agent. Potential suitors: Brooklyn, Utah, Orlando, Dallas.

Not sure if this was posted.

I am sure somebody will overpay for his scoring ability.

I would love Lou Will! He's been one of my favorite players since his rookie season.

He gets hot, but don't you think he's a bit too inconsistent and overrated for a team in our position? I think he's fool's gold. If his percentage was 5% higher maybe I'd think differently... unfortunately, his FG% actually dipped 5% below his already below average percentage in the playoffs in recent years.

I see several would be interested in Williams... What's the most you guys would be willing to pay the dude? He's already getting $6 million.

i'd give lou a long term deal starting at 7 mil.

ok Otis

[magicman123]

hes nothing but a backup, pay him as a scoring guard off the bench, no team will start him

[The Effect]

I really dont get how this is taking THIS long. Do the guys in charge right now think the new GM doesnt need to scout for the draft??

[Def Swami]

$6 mill. $7 mill max if I knew we had other good players around him and that we need him as a final piece to a puzzle. He is a very good scorer and can be successful if that's the only role given to him. You need other playmakers on the floor to compensate for what he lacks as a point guard. I wouldn't break the bank on him because I'd much rather have Monta in 2013, but if we go another direction and can put another all-star player next to Dwight, then Lou would be a very good complimentary player.

an otis deal is giving a 31 year old shooting guard a 4 year 25 deal. lou is a trade asset at that price.

12 mil for 2 years would be good enough for me. Any more than that is too much.
