Soooo...we now have 4 point guards, 4 shooting guards, 3 pf's and 2 centers on the team.

Um...so SOMETHING must be coming. No way Teague, Harris and Williams are all on the team.

I am personally not a fan of Lou, especially not for multiple years, but he gives some punch off the bench.

6th man of the year?

Really cheap for the MLE/4y... huge!

Trade for Dwight must be coming! Harris, Teague, Horford, Petro... all of them could be in the pack!

See this is a good sign by Ferry. MLE type deal for a 6th man of the year talent. Trade Harris for a pick(s) or prospect, or a combo of both if he shows some good value before the deadline. Just budget your cap and draft the right guys.

I think this is a sign they are moving someone and soon. I can't imagine them signing Lou for multi years without having a deal in place to move either Harris (Yay!) or Teague(booo).

MLE?!!?!? Ferry is a genius, Sund wouldve never been able to pull any of this off (Lou, and the Joe and Marv trades) and to think we were this close to trading Josh for Gasol and being stuck in mediocraty for the next 4 years with NO chance at Dwight, oh how things change in a couple of weeks

I like it either way....you either include him in a package or keep him as a 6th man off the bench that gives you punch. Win Win.

Link? He allegedly wanted $8 mil per year like Thad Yo.

I believe Lou Williams is actually a 2-guard. He'll most likely play the SG spot.

Hometown + Talented Team = Discount ? maybe

there was no market for him cuz of defense and style of play? Wonder if Mr. Mayo gets more

I saw Danny Ferry at Philips Arena today and he had a big smile on his face. Many of the young players are working hard on their game and have been practicing all week, I've passed the practice court multiple times since Saturday and I can tell it's active inside.

I plan on purchasing a Lou Williams jersey for sure.

It's been a fantastic month.

As a Philly fan, I can tell you Lou Williams will be a lot of fun to watch. He'll drive you crazy sometimes with his shot selection, but when they go in, there's nothing to say but "BOSS". He'll also be great for the community too. There's a story where he was carjacked fairly recently and the guy attempting it recognized who Lou was because of his charity work in the community and decided to drop it. Lou brought him to McDonalds for a free meal. Pretty crazy. At $5 million, I think he's a bargain.

maybe Harris gets traded next?

MaceCase · Post #20 » by **MaceCase** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 2:31 am

At that price you can't complain. Also could signal the end for Teague which is also not something to complain about. Trade or at least a FA signing has to be in the works for a wing.
