    Sweet Lou has been solid for the Rockets, but my man Babo Beretta has been murdering off the bench for the Wiz and has just won them a game against the Magic with some clutch shooting, finished with a career high 8 treys (also the main reason for their win vs Raptors a few days ago). Bojan mentioned during the post-game interview that he's grateful to finally play with an all-star point guard that is willing to create for others and pass the ball (lol Lin shade). Harden would've filled that role here, obviously.
    They both had a similar price tag, bad contract + a first rounder, so it's not unreasonable to think Houston could've nabbed him with the same offer as for Lou. Bojan is a bad defender, there's no question about it, but he has legit small forward size and has enough strength to play that position, whereas the Rockets now play extremely small with Bev-Lou-Gordon (or Harden) for extended periods and that hurts them big time on D.
    One thing that is also worth mentioning is that Lou still has another year on his 7 million per year contract, while Bojan is an RFA this summer (4.5 mil qualifying offer). But Morey has been great with restricted free agency, at least when he doesn't need to deal with BJ the Moron, and I don't see Bogdanović getting more than around 11 mil per year, he's just not a very well-known or appreciated player around the league. Also, him and Capela share the same agent, so Morey could've established a precedent for Clint's RFA business in 2018.
    Btw, if we're looking long term, Bojan's just entering his prime at age 27, while Lou is already 30.

    Lou Williams: 5 games, 24.4 min, 17.2 pts, 1.6 reb, 2.0 ast, 42.6 fg%, 39 3p%, 85.7 ft%, 3.2 3pm
    Bojan Bogdanović: 6 games, 24.5 min, 15.5 pts, 2.0 reb, 0.7 ast, 53.6 fg%, 58.8 3p%, 100 ft%, 3.3 3pm

    I'm obviously biased, but I would've gone with Babo, as I very much dislike 3 guard lineups and think that it will be exploited and very hazardous in the playoffs. Bojan just fills that wing sharpshooter need better than Lou. Please don't start talking about how Sweet Lou is miles better at creating his own shot, watch the Rio Olympics, Babo was shredding the competition isoing, posting up and getting to the line every single game, he has that in his game.

    58% is insane. Doubt he can keep that up, but Lou is my homie. Ride or die with our squad.

    Bogdanovich would bog down our offense.

    A lot of people on the board suggested and wanted Bogdanovic, but I'm happy with Lou.

    Happy for BB and his eight 3's last game, but he's not a Rocket.

    I'd rather focus on what this team is and has for the rest of the season.

    lou williams because he can create off the bounce, something we have been missing when harden rested.

    I'm certainly not enamored by his rebounding. I was all in for a big man at the trade deadline, but I'm more than happy to take a third ball-handler to give our attack multiple fronts. Also, as insurance behind Beverley and Gordon.

    Damn, you millenials can't even focus on a 2 min read. Put down your mom's iPad, open up your Jansport backpack, take out your Spiderman pen, start paying attention and write down notes after you've read my posts, you could learn a lot from them. I'm offering you free education, you can't get that everywhere.

    This is the correct answer

    Lou for sure. Love Bojan though. Thought he would put up like 18 ppg this year w/ the Nets. Didn't happen but is in a great situation with Wall and the Wiz now

    Bobby because we have Gordon already, and we cant reasonable play Gordon, lou, bev and harden together, but could bobbt instead of lou.

    But no question lou is the better player.

    One guy is doing something that isn't sustainable statistically and one guy is almost right on his season averages.

    I knew the Wiz found a winner when they made that trade. I really like what Bojan does out there.
