Bubble Guts - The Mo Williams Thread

[HornetJail]

I am going to be extremely pissed if we let Mo walk and it isn't because of the salary cap. Biz and Mo should be priorities number 1 and 2 this summer. Lock him up for 2-3 years.

I think the key is letting Al walk. If he opts out we can keep both but if not Mo might leave.

Al and Mo are buddies. If anything I'd worry that turning away Al when he wants to stay could jeopardize Mo.

Mo's following the money. He signed with Minnefrickinsota this past summer.

Fair, but I doubt other teams will be scared to offer whatever we're going to offer him. Would be helpful if we offer him a good shot at the playoffs along with a chance to play with his boy Al.

If you had to choose between Biz or Mo this summer, who would you pick?

Biz

-Bigs over smalls
-much younger
-PGs are easier to find than centers

If we keep Al at a crazy number like what he is being paid now just to keep Mo that is poor decision making. I like Mo and want him but he and Biz would cost us what Al is going to ask for alone likely.

I don't think Biyombo will get nearly as much as some think he will.

[JDR720]

If Mo wants to play with Al then he can follow Al to his next team. Im not paying Al whatever amount of money he wants so we have a better shot to keep his 32 year old backup PG friend on the team.

[Liver_Pooty]

We're not going to mortgage our future just to sign Mo freaking Williams. Ridiculous talk.

What do you think he will get?

[Liver_Pooty]

I don't think Biyombo will get nearly as much as some think he will.

What do you think he will get?

Around 5.5 per year. I've seen some suggest 8 to even 10 a year, which I don't see any team offering him that at all.

Oh I completely agree. I'm just saying that letting Al go doesn't necessary increase our chances at holding on to Mo.

Congrats to Mo hes been playing great. He was a all star before so im not that surprised but I cant say I thought he was going to be this effective. When Kemba comes back I wouldn't mind starting Mo over Henderson to be honest.

If think he will get around 7-8 average with it starting closer to 6.5 but that is just my guess.

Mo.

Not an easy hypothetical though. Honestly would like to see both back. However I think that it would be more difficult for the team to replace Mo's production on the FA market than Biz's. The team has put a lot into Biz, and I expect that they would pick him over Mo.

I pick Mo, easily.

[fatlever]

I'm with the crowd that takes Mo, and thats tough to say because Biz is my favorite player.

I'd love to lock both up on something like:

Mo 2 years, 10 mil
Biz 3 years, 15 mil (team option after 2 years)

I would be nervous about giving Biz anything more than 5 mil a season or any contract longer than 3 years (unless its a steal of a deal).

Bismack almost seems like he doesn't like basketball sometimes.

Lol. I agree.

[fatlever]

I can't stop laughing at Bubble Guts

[Braggins]

No way would I keep Mo over Biz... Talk about a treadmill move. Thats borderline crazy talk.

[BlackOutBuzz]

Bubble Guts? I need some context here...
