    Philly not bring back, isn't he a PG? I thought he was pretty good, could be a back up plan to Lin being matched...

    He's my next best option if Lin gets matched

    I actually really, really like this guy. He's not a classic point guard by ANY means but he's one of the best pure scorers in the league. He was Philly's crunch time go to guy and was fantastic at it. Which, I don't know if you guys watched last season, we kind of need someone like that...

    He is actually more of a combo guard or even an undersized SG.

    Still, I think he should definitely be pursued to a one year deal similar to what NO gave Landry last year. Especially if we can get Parsons and/or White to be a point forward, Lou could be the perfect signing for this team.

    I'd prefer to pass on Williams and instead throw our rookies into the fire, come what may from our record ...oh look; a great draft pick!

    That would give us Machado and Fortson, possibly Boykins. Tanking is okay, but c'mon.

    No. I hate a PG that can barely hit the 40% shooting mark... or at least get things like... assists. LOL

    Maybe as a PG/sixth man/offensive spark kind of guy.... but not as our starter.

    Then again, guess we may not have another choice...

    Lou Williams with Aaron Brooks backing him up wouldn't be all that bad.

    Jeremy lamb + Lou Williams + Same BackCourt = 37 PPG easy

    I would like this guy as the closer we've been asking for. Draws fouls at a great rate. Finishes at the rim. If we actually are trying to win next year, I'd go for him. Might not fit with the tanking strategy, but I think he'd help us this year. Curious how he'd work with Kevin Martin? Always wondered if we could have a closer in the backcourt and still have Kevin Martin do his thing (as much as people might not want him to as a Rocket).
