The Hawks have reportedly reached an agreement to sign free agent combo guard Lou Williams.
This looks like a perfect fit for the Hawks, as Lou-Will is an Atlanta native and should slide into the hole at shooting guard left by the departure of Joe Johnson. And if Williams could average 15 points off the bench for the Sixers last season, he could push that number closer to 20 per game as a starter for the Hawks.

Not a bad backcourt with Devin Harris, Lou Williams, Jeff Teague, and John Jenkins.
C/PF-Horford, Baynes, Noel, Theis, Morris,
SF/SG- Tatum, Brown, Hayward, Smart, Semi, Clark
PG- Irving, Rozier, Larkin

Seems like a good fit.

They will have a Celtic like (size wise) guard rotation next year with Teague 6'2 180, Harris 6'3 180, and now Luo 6'1 170. I imagine much like the C they find a bigger wing to add as the fourth man to that rotation or they try to trade Harris.

I always liked Lou Dub. Good move, ATL.

I like the idea of Lou Williams going home to Atlanta but the timing sucks.

They are blowing up their roster. He should have gone elsewhere.

Lou Williams would be a very good fit along with Dwight Howard.

Can't wait to see what the numbers are.

I thought the Johnson and Marvin Williams trades were all about clearing future cap space after this year.

Would Atlanta really look to rent Dwight?

Devin Harris, Al Horford, and a future 1st rounder for Dwight Howard and Jason Richardson or Turkoglu?

Why not?  DH is from Atlanta & now that BK blew its 13' cap space, no way Dwight walks away from his bird rights $$.

Josh Smith & D12 would fit nicely, looks even better with Teague & Sweet Lou in the backcourt.
