I think he's a bit older than what the Pels should really be looking for, but if he doesn't cost too much...

Is a 2019 pick "too much" for you? Because that is what they are offering essentially. That probably wouldn't even get it done though

But the Pels feel like they are playing with found money with that pick, because they actually offered it to Sacto a few days ago and then pulled it back once Boogie's agent started mouthing off

That's crazy... I don't think Lou is worth a future first rounder though

Hes probably exactly what we need. Would be nice to have a guard that can score off the bench.

I think you sign Chalmers and trade for Rush with exception. i would love to have Williams but keep the 2019 pick for this offseason

Really don't think an undersized 2 guard with no defense is what we need. I'll pass and screw the lakers. Don't give them picks.

F it, let's roll this up....let AD and boogie play defense.....

Imagine the facelift if we got Lou......in literally 1 week ....we would go from the outhouse to the 4 th floor...

Yeah I don't see why we should pay a lot for this guy. I think a future first could net us a solid wing player or help dump Asik.

Would Asik and the pick for Lou work??

Lou is not worth a 1st rounder. A guy like Hollis Thompson can be had for no picks and in my opinion would be a better fit on this team.

Rockets add him:
"what a steal, its a luxury when you can have TWO 6th men of that caliber coming off the bench/playing heavy minutes for CC"


Pelicans add him:
"not a needle mover, nobody wanted him anyway, CC was just driving up the price on his old useless arse"

Well if they are going to do Asik and a first for Lou then sounds good.

Eh, they get salary relief and the pick will be in the mid 20's. I don't think that's too bad. It also fits the no defense mantra that Houston is going for.

ETA: salary relief in getting rid of "dead" money.
