    I was told by a source it's unlikely Lou Williams will play Thursday night against the Pelicans because of the timing of the physical.

    - I told you so!

    Adding Lou and subtracting Brew is the equivalent to adding another superstar

    The cookie jar will always be full. Will the NBA get tired of cookies?

    Media will say that Harden shouldn't get MVP because he has two 6MOY on the team. To that I say, **** EM. Lets win a championship.

    Lou is like +2.5 in the box score and Brewer is a -3. If that holds up for him, that's a 5 point swing. LOL that's a big difference.

    Come on, we need a good forward like Carmelo, still an all-star, can shoot, can rebound, can create space. :p:p:D:D

    Step aside Harden. We have a new player in town (in more ways than one)

    Lou will be solid but his year is a classic case of a guy statpadding on a terrible team. He will likely average 12-14 points for us

    This is one trade where I agree with all my Critics and Im sure all Rox Fans agree with this trade. So, OOHYA!

    Yeeeahhh boooyyy!

    E. Gordon and L. William will do that backcourt RIGHT with the 2nd unit!!


    But I have to be honest here....Bilaal14 called this, man. Y'all should give that boy his props and give him back his Thread Priviliege. He has a keen basketball mind and I am not him! But his Rox basketball sense is some of the better Posters I've seen on Clutchfans.

    With that, I want to add.....to those worry that we gave up a 1st for a 30 yr old is good in two ways. One, he's "primed" for a Championship run. He got all the experience in the world to handle it like a pro.

    Two, Morey hates keeping high 1st rd. pick even though our 1st rd. pick would land outside the lottery and low....like the 27th, 28th, 29th pick. Its our 2nd rd. picks where try to find gems in the draft. And that's good in terms of the rookie salary scale.

    You don't want a high draft pick commanding 3 millions. Keep it low so we can have money to spend on marquee trade deals. I still.want the Rox to go after Ibaka in the Summer. If we get him, and can land Wilson Chandler now while having Lou in tow, we are GOOD!

    We can then trade Dekker/K.J. for picks, really. And a Wilson acquisition would give us some flexibility to tweak the roster. Putting Wilson wit the starting unit at the 4 spot, and bring Amderson off the bench with E. Gordon and Lou ------ man, you talking about a helluva bench production, there!!!
