    Looks like the clippers are gonna get good value and build a very nice asset.

    It appears they are trying to take the Rockets approach of staying relevant while rebuilding.

    Good Luck Clips

    The Clippers are the new 2012 Rockets. battling for that 8th seed for the next 4 years.

    Typical Lou Williams deal. He’s more fascinated with living somewhere like La and just ballin out. He could have gotten way more money.

    I’m surprised he’s not getting 3 years 45.

    He doesn't have nearly the impact on the game that some people think he has, but for some instant offense, 8.5 million is crazy cheap.

    Not sure if he just loves LA, or if his agent told him the market is gonna be dry. Seems like he could have gotten a better deal than that easily.

    Great for the Clippers, not sure what Lou is thinking though.

    In the end Lou has been a free agent how many times? I'd say at least 3...and even if he has been a six man of the year for years, he never got big offers as a free agent so, yeah, i guess most of teams have a similar idea about his impact on the game. Add that it's looking like teams won't spend much money this summer...

    . The man is 7th ORPM. As in 7th in the whole damn league. But more importantly where did you get that 8.5 number from?

    And he gives most of it back on defense.

    8.5 is the reported number, no confirmation on it.

    He's thinking there's going to be a big cash crunch this offseason.

    My eyes opened with Mirotic wanted his contract picked up. That's not a heft price on a 1 year deal and he was prepared to rot in Chicago unless someone guaranteed that option.

    Normally guys having great years can't wait to get to free agency.

    Lou was just tired of moving every year.

    Costs a lot to move two chicks every time you change teams.

    Of course he wouldn't want to leave a team with Milos on it.

    Haven't seen anything official. Would be surprised if he took less than $12 million - somebody would have paid him.

    That Gallo move is looking pretty bad for LA.
