Lou Williams for 7 million is better than Lamarcus Aldridge for 20 million

[kennethgriffin]

after just a bit of research.... in hindsight... the lakers dodged a huge bullet



the lakers got a 22.2ppg per 36m player for 14 million less than the spurs paid for a guy who averages 23.8ppg per 36m


but whats most shocking is i found out that

lamarcus aldridge has a 1.17 points per shot
lou williams has a 1.33 points per shot





1.17 is actually extremely low for a big man




i'm guessing its due to only shooting 46% ... not great for a big


that and lou williams goes to the line 5 times per 11 shots and hits 2 threes a game

aldridge goes to the line only 5 times per 20 shots and hits just 1 three a game










>>>>>

[kennethgriffin]

aldridges inability to get to the line is actually some all time futility type sh*t

anyone who takes 20 shots should be getting to the line nearly 10 times a game


1.17pps is f*cking bad

[Trollsmasher]

agreed in the sense that LMA is very overrated

[hawke812]

Good job on the research, very informative. I also believe LMA was a bit overrated for the price. Not a bad player, but just too much $$$.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Well that's good, they won't have to spend that much money on their 30-40 win season. I'm sure that Laker fans are extremely excited to know that the Buss family is saving a few million dollars.

How mad are you that Duncan is still competing for championships at the end of his career, while Kobe is competing for better spots in the lottery?

who the f*ck is duncan on this spurs team... the 12th man?



3rd option 15ppg title in 2014 would look impressive compared to any type of role he can muster with this new lineup

aldridge taking 20 shots. duncan off the bench for 20 minutes ... might average 11/7 if lucky

You mean San Antonio is competing for championships right?

Congrats salty laker fan! You got a 6'1" 180lbs shooting guard! He's almost as good of a chucker as current Kobe. And of course, he's the reigning sixth man of the year! although... No all star selection... Or All-NBA selections... And he had one good season after tearing his ACL... But dammit he's a star!

You realize you just hindered the development of your young guys completely, right? Now you have Clarkson and Russell behind Kobe and Lou. And Nick Young if he stays. Oh and Lou doesn't play any defense. Jesus you fans are delusional. If LMA would have signed there for whatever reason, it would be "He's a young Tim Duncan!" (since you're jealous you never got the best player of this era), "Lakers always sign the best free agent in the class", "We got the title This year", "This deal will be a bargain when the cap increases!" Etc. etc.

Well I'm totally happy for you.. Spurs going to compete for another championship and Duncan has a chance a ring 6.. Kobe and the lakers stuck in the lottery..
In the end if you are so confident of your opinion.. Next season will show if you are right or wrong...good luck lakers

[midatlantic09]

Lou Williams for $7 mil a yr is the best signing this offseason. He's as much of a contributor as many of the guys making $16+ million a yr....absolute steal.

Aldridge = 1.17 POINTS PER SHOT ( 20FGA's per game = 5FTA's )

Williams = 1.33 POINTS PER SHOT ( 11 FGA's per game = 5FTA's )

Yah because Kobe did so well in 2014. Oh wait... He wasnt even the 15th option, he broke down while taking up 25% of your teams cap space.

Next year Kobe averages 20pts / 5 ast / 4 reb / 35% FG / 30% 3P / 70% FT / 5 games played.

5 rings, 3 FMVPs, 2 MVPs > 5 rings, 2 FMVPs, 1 MVPs. You still mad?

Duncan has been the defensive anchor for all 5 championships. On and off court leader. Best player in the WCF vs the OKC in 2014 (and all I hear you say is that WCF is the 'real' final). Duncan > Kobe.

kobe with duncans achilles would be averaging 27ppg like he did in 2013


its futile to critique a guy on 1 leg
