    Sweet Lou gets buckets, he is going to thrive in Houston.

    He's been underrated his whole career. Good rapper too.

    I agree with Honkicracker, but think he will play most of his minutes when Harden is not on the court. Not a bad move for Houston because it will allow them to give Harden some rest going down the stretch, and not have a huge drop off when he goes to the bench.

    Plus Brewer has done nothing for them this year, so Houston is basically trading their draft pick for Lou Williams. Brewer was essentially just to make the salaries match. It will be interesting to see what LA does with him. He could probably be had for a second round pick (not saying I am interested).

    This move makes me think that Magic Johnson wants draft picks, and the Lakers could be extremely active at the deadline. Hopefully Neil is on the phone inquiring about Randle. I really think we have a lot to offer the Lakers in order to land him, so if we want him and the Lakers are willing to trade him then he could be ours.

    I might even take on one of the questionable contracts they have like Luol Deng.

    AC and a 1st for Luol Deng and Julius Randle should get it done.

    Show Olshey this play and it should be bye bye Meyers a 1st and a 2nd for Randle.

    I haven't heard that he isn't. Lot's up in the air for LA after this move, no idea what Magic's plan going forward is. Obviously wants draft picks, which we have, so hopefully Neil is getting more information about Randle than we can.

    • Taking the long view - going to be patient
    • CJ/Dame are pretty much untouchable
    • Might be involved in bigger deals either at deadline or draft
    • A lot of options going forward
    • Won't try to make a trade to make the playoffs

    If you believe Magics tweets, he's a fan of Julius Randle. Besides, that's their best player, why would they trade him? I'd give up both of the first rounders we got from other teams for him.

    I would too, which is what it would likely take to get him. If they don't trade him now, they will eventually. I think they will pick Ingram over Randle and use him in a trade to dump Deng or Mozgov contracts in order to free up the cap room to go after a big name free agent. He might not go at the deadline, but if I'm Neil I am inquiring now, and then making another push for him during the Draft.

    Why would LA want to trade a young non ball kicking Draymond Green?
