Lou Williams - WAS

[Walt Frazier]

WASHINGTON WIZARDS
Lou Williams

Lou had a couple of minimum (or minimum-ish) level offers, but then in the last week or two interest picked up a little bit more. Chicago can get some credit for pushing the offer up, but then the Wizards, who have been in on Louis since October 16 matched and then beat the offer, and Chicago wasn't able to match that, things have clarified and the decision is made.

Year 1: $2,100,000
Year 2: $2,100,000

Total: $4,200,000

Congratulations to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the Washington Wizards!

Another hold out mistake! Should have taken my 1 year, $3m offer 7 weeks ago

Realize you're salty, but you offered like 9 players that deal on maybe the 2nd or 3rd day of FA. Within a week, when many, many things were still evolving, you were solely focused on Rose and didn't mention Lou for probably 2-3 weeks or more after that.

Additionally, 4.2 Million is better than 3M and Lou is not having a very good year IRL so, I'm not even sure you can say this wasn't a better overall deal for him.

But sure, beat up on me if it makes you feel better.
