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

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.

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

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??

Post #1449 » by **Def Swami** » Tue Jun 12, 2012 3:32 am

$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.

Wonder who didn't make the list, Weaver or Penn ..

CPBalla2003 n da 863 · Post #1455 » by **CPBalla2003 n da 863** » Tue Jun 12, 2012 5:52 am

would love to nab Lindsey if we could.

D12VCMagic · Post #1456 » by **D12VCMagic** » Tue Jun 12, 2012 5:53 am

I hope it is Lindsey, I can't be seriously optimistic about our future with Bower calling the shots.

Post #1457 » by **Def Swami** » Tue Jun 12, 2012 5:54 am

I can't believe Bower is still in this SMH

arkknight1988 · Post #1458 » by **arkknight1988** » Tue Jun 12, 2012 6:05 am

if lindsey is a finalist does that mean he wants the job? if so bower doesn't stand a chance.
