Cavs playing pretty well, already 62 points with still just over two minutes left in the half. But only up 4. Cannot be said enough how awful they are defensively.

Well ok then... maybe if we needed an undersized two guard who does nothing but score I would feel jealous of his contract.

As it stands we have 5 guys who want the ball (GA-Bari-Bled-Khris-Brog) and we were really after a low usage, efficient and long SG who can defend some. I don't know what we would do with a guy like Lou Will, he would probably end up with the same minutes as Sean Kilpatrick.

I mean Lou has been a better scorer than Middleton, he's been damn impressive and honestly should have probably been an all star this season. Every team has a role for Lou, and that's off the bench 6th man gunner, and he excels there. Impact wise, as of now Lou Will blows a guy like Brogdon out of the water.

Not interested in scoring, we got scorers.
And I'd rather play them and give them the ball for a variety of reasons. The most important of which that they also do other things for me, and second most important that they're young and developing.

I don't know which players you are talking about that having a Lou Williams off the bench would severely hinder. Dude isn't some offensive cancer, and his skillset would be insanely good for this team.

Wolves Cavs game is an absolute shoot out. Entertaining to say the least. Need Minny to pull this one out big time. Cavs and Wiz both still gotta play Boston before the break too. We could be looking at 1st place in the division and 3rd in the East by Friday.

His skillset is scoring, like I said we got scorers, that's not the problem of this team.

Absolutely stunned Lou Will would sign an 8 mil/yr contract in todays NBA, without a doubt one of the best contracts in the entire NBA. If this were the year 2002 that would be a fair contract

There's no money to be had in free agency. So few teams have cap space and without a cap-bump this season, those teams will all chase the 3-4 big names out there, that the middling free agents just aren't going to be able to cash in like they did 2 years ago (and even last year a little bit.

Lou is objectively a better scorer than Khris...for $8m per that's obscene value. Scoring wasn't the problem for the 73 win Warriors...yet they added Durant who's skillset is scoring and got better as a team.

Wolves gonna have to beat the refs in this one too.

Turk Nowitzki · Post #874 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Thu Feb 8, 2018 3:22 am

How the **** did the Wolves just **** that up so badly? You have to go 2 for 1 there and at least get the ball back at the end.

Durant is a HELL of a defensive player, DPOY candidate.

I get your point that Durant is more than a scorer, but he's not even close to DPOY level this season imo. Honestly he's kinda overrated on that end.

NBA record 40 combined 3's and the game isn't over

There's no way Cavs will re-sign IT, they can't even play him in crunch time.
