"The Lou Williams Situation"

[EverythingBlaxx]

Lou's 19.9 PER will be hard to replace.

Not really. Scoring the basketball efficiently is the least of the Raptors' problems. This isn't a knock on Lou but his strengths don't help address the Raptors' weaknesses

Who is our bench now :

Wright (PG)
Ross (SG)
JJ (SF)
2PAt (PF)
Biymbo ( C)

That is considering we don't get anything from Bebe and Bruno

Well... Until second notice, PPat is a starter. I think Ross will produce more off the bench, but I wouldn't bet on it, because betting on Ross' performance is not a wise move in any situation. Just as I wouldn't bet on Delon Wright stepping in and putting a good performance right out of the gate, even if he came to the league as a senior. So yeah, our bench will take a hit this year most likely. But I like that we're going to be giving minutes to young guys, that can only help our future, since fighting for the title is not a realistic goal.

we use that same 7m on COJO and that is an upgrade to our ball movement and defense

...our bench really sucks now...

lou bailed the team out by chucking and hoping he can outscore all the points the defense is giving up. he was a crutch who hid a lot of terrible basketball. now, Casey has to put together a semblence of a gameplan on O and D or the Raptors are going to lose a ton. lou outscoring the other teams bench isnt a playoff winning strategy

Good. Guy obtained individual success in a contract year while hurting the team, overall. Lakers with Kobe, Young and Lou should be a treat to watch.

I forgot Young was there....

Maybe his comment was for a different scenario

Nah, he's just wrong.

7 sec or less offence doubt the Lakers shot clock ever sees single digits all season

Don't scare Hibbert, he will never even reach the paint on offense if that's the case.

Casey is crossing his legs awkwardly thinking about a small ball lineup of Russell, Lou, Clarkson, Young, and Kobe.
