Great news! I believe he's going to be a very good player and worth more than this contract.

yeah no one talks about louis but I think he can be a good player. Not sure how much the combination of his strength and size will limit him but I think he's along the lines of Monta Ellis and Allen Iverson. I always wondered why they weren't giving him playing time, perhaps it didnt work with the scheme of the gameplan. I thought he made good things happen when he was on the floor when I saw him play. I know he was a good prospect coming into the league. I'm suprised no one made a run at him. Maybe the market isnt sold on undersized scoring guards. I see Ben gordon also having trouble with his contract

Good signing for the 76ers. I didn't know who this guy was until I was watching the Raptors vs 76ers this past season and he was hitting some big shots even in clutch time. Ever since I've just been hearing his name all around the NBA. Now they just need to sign Iggy up long term.

Louis Williams is a bench player (a 6th man in his prime) so that's a pretty good price for him.

Congrats to Louis. I must admit I had my doubts when he went league out of HS, but he has continued to work hard and now it's paying off. Anyone who puts a limit on this kid saying he is a career 6th man, is making a mistake.
