    Yeah no. No. Yeah no.

    I'm not thinking about going after Lou Williams for 3/27 million until we're able to get a starting SF.

    Another classic Lakers name drop to stir interest. I think it's rule #1 in the NBA agents handbook.

    Yep, this is SOP for agents. If your free agent isn't the type to generate headlines (like Lou), just mention that the Lakers could possibly be interested.

    If we didn't have Nick Young (offense off the pine ) or didn't need a starting SF, then maybe. He'd be a nice change spark backing up JC. But that's not the case, so no thank you

    seems like they just looked for teams with highly uncertain pg situations, cross-referenced to some degree with market size, and voila!

    I like lou Williams, but if I'm in the lakers' situation, I'd rather pay aaron brooks 1/8 of that salary.

    Or Mo Williams half...
    Or CJ Watson 1/8...
    Or maybe even Lin half...

    I like Lou but he's not been on my radar really. And definitely not at that cost.
