Great pick up! Will love to see him come of the bench.
Russell/Brown
Clarkson/Williams
Bryant/Young
Randle/Kelly
Hibbert/Black

| Good, solid pick up. Swaggy and/or JC could be on the move. |

or we could just play Lou Williams as the backup 1 and Swaggy as the backup 2. That makes the most sense tbh.
We need as much firepower off the bench as we can get. As well as people that can spell Kobe's minutes. Lou and Swaggy can both do that and Lou can play the 1 and the 2 and Swaggy can play the 2 and the 3. It's solid and would be a good idea to keep both. |

Nah man, that not what I'm saying. Lou was obviously a straight up free agent signing. What I'm saying is that JC could potentially be on the move for a 3 and D wing. I'll put it more nicely for you, JC might be more expendable now due to the fact that we just spent 7 million on a similar player that will command minutes off the bench. However, we might just keep the trio of Russell/JC/Williams back court. Williams lack of size for sg would be minimized playing with the 6-5 Russell and Clarkson. But, on the defensive side, we would have our work cut out for us against bigger wing players. |

Ya it would be fun to watch. Not much defense, but would def be entertaining. Still need another big guy that's why I think he could get traded. |

| Solid move and it's somewhat a bargain too. Usually, guys who can score the ball would get a contract worth more dollars per year. |

| Good signing by the Lakers. Mo Williams seems to have a lot left in the tank. |

| Good pickup I honestly didn't see coming. Can we handle Swaggy + Lou + Kobe on the same team though? |

Kinda shos how inefficient it is to run an ISO regardless of who it is. |

Lou will definitely help win some games. Good signing. To me it signals Kobe to the 3.
Hibbert/Upsahw/Sacre
Randle/Black/Nance
Kobe/Young/Brown
Clarkson/Brown
Russell/Lou
We def need some defensive wings and a vet or 2. That bench could be very potent |
