I feel like this will be a regrettable contact one day

Hopefully not for our LAC pick. If they can somehow keep DeAndre and Lou and add a couple of pieces, that pick should fall right in the sweet spot of 16-20.

I think it is obvious Danny wants Evans.

If it’s a reasonable contract, I wonder if that makes him more tradeable now. Still think Evans is our primary target with his much smaller contract, though.

can he even be traded before the deadline if he signs an extension.  I don't know the rules in this case, but generally there are delays after you sign a contract on when you can be traded.

It will be a reasonable deal if it happens, just based on the limitations for what LA can offer.  But unless he says “Sure, I’ll agree to an extend-and-trade with any team you find as a taker”, it probably means he’s off the market, as you’re not allowed to trade someone you’ve just extended.

Good for him if he can cash in a bit.

He's busted his tail in this league & has earned it.

Never though Williams was a realistic target given his $7 million salary. I just never thought a Smart for Williams trade, which is only one that kinds fit, made sense.

Good for Sweet Lou. Hope he lands a nice extension

If the Clippers pick doesn't convey by 2020 we are stuck with their 2nd rounder so I would like LAC to be a playoff team (somewhere in that sweet spot) next year.
Lou Williams is a very good scorer but I don't see LAC giving him a "regrettable" contract. What would be regrettable is for the Clippers to be a lottery team next year and the year after.

He signed a long term deal, doesn't that mean that The Clippers now trade him? See: Griffin, Blake...

I think this is good for the C's pick.  With Lou Williams, Tobias Harris, Gallinari and hopefully DeAndre or good serviceable assets for DeAndre, I think they are a lower rung playoff team next year - which is right where we want them.

Great for him!!! He deserves it thou wanted him in green and white this week 😜
