For Lou?  |
Yes why not?
There is another team out there that could have intrigued Philly to give it up.
They need to face it if we are bad we are going to tank to ensure we keep our pick. Only way they get our pick if we do real good if we are border line 7th 8th seed we will tank |

You think Lou would make the 76ers give up a possible 4th pick? Come on.

You do realize the draft is a lottery?
Lakers could lose the rest of their games and still not get a top 3 pick if the lottery balls go against them.
Increasing the chances or lottery balls is helpful but far from a certainty. Doubt the Sixers are any more worried about their chances then they were a week ago. |

There is no way we can ensure that we keep the pick, and Philly knows that.

Ok. Not sure what that has to do with anything. Philly has it and they know the odds are good that they will keep it. For DLO they might react (not to even get into the deals we would have to make with Orlando to make things work) but for Lou that would be flat out stupid.

No...the Lakers did not. The market value wasn't there for expiring plus a 1st. Look at what the Wizards gave up to get Bojan. They gave up Andrew Nicholson who had another 3 years, $20M left on his contract compared to the 1 year, $7.6M left on Brewer's contract.

Hopefully we can buy out Brewer. At least he will be an expring contract next year and might have some value at the 2018 TD.

Indeed.
Cousins got a pick that's in the teens, a pile of scraps and Buddy Hield. Nerlens Noel got traded for what's most likely going to be two 2nd rounders. Lou should net a 4th pick. Ok.

People complaining about the Brewer contract when we're paying Deng twice as much for twice as long. 
Brewer expires the offseason we're gonna grab George. Deng and Mozgov will still be on the books. Nearly untradeable. And probably preventing us from pairing George up with another star.

Wasn't Larry Nance the 27th pick? What would you guys rather have, Lou Will or a Possible chance to pick up a young role player that can develop into an elite role player or even more. I think this is a good trade.

Naw, the first rounder is good! It's just the brewer contract that was not so good.

Cousins is a black hole and a head case people saw what happened with Howard so they stayed away from him
Noel played how many games? And won 6th man of the year how many times?
You guys are just a bunch of negative Nancie's |

The Brewer contract is fine. It comes off the books when we're making our Summer 2018 run at free agents. Not one team sent expiring contracts with an unprotected 1st rounder this year. Not one. They're especially not doing it for a rental player or a vet with a year left on his deal.
Expiring contracts have just as much value to the teams holding them than they do to the teams trying to acquire them. |

Cousins is arguably the best player at his position at 26. Noel is 22 with the tools to be in the mold of Tyson Chandler (Don Nelson's words). Lou Williams is a 30-year-old bench scorer with questionable defense and an ugly AST/TO ratio. He's great for what he is, but his blue-chip value is nowhere close to the other guys. Lou is amazing to watch and a great guy, but we've got to be objective in evaluating our own players and their market value. |

I agree Cousins is the best player in his position
But that position is absolete.
Noel will disappear just like Chandler but wo the ring
Lou has been consistent on each team he has been put on.
Now most players need the right team to blossom however Lou does the same no matter what team he has been put on.
We gave up on him like the teams did before he is no super star that you build around like a Kobe or LeBron. He is a player that you build with like Rip. |

Lou Williams has started 90 games in his entire career. Rip Hamilton started more games than that in a season + playoffs. He was also was a three-time All-Star and key starter in multiple championship runs. Lou Williams has won 6th MOTY and could win another one, but there's a reason he comes off the bench. He's a one-dimensional player. Scoring is great, but basketball is a two-way game. I love Lou, man. But we gotta take the purple and gold glasses off for a second. We got fair return on his market value. |
