lou williams or jrue holliday?

[Eastoff]

They are both PG for Philadelphia, in a situation similar to Portland with the SF position. Could we trade Gerald for Lou Williams; something like this?

if your target is Williams, then I wouldn't treat Turner as a throw in like that. I'd prefer him to be a target. Would love a 2/3 of Turner and Batum.

Deron Williams

Lou is the second coming of Jamal Crawford. Don't we already have Crawford?

Perhaps you're right. I'm honestly just grabbing at straws of any PG that isn't Felton.

Jrue Holiday is a good up and coming PG. He is defiantly someone i'd target over Lou williams. Williams is a dime a dozen scoring guard who doesn't really pass but can get his shot off in the same way Ben Gordan could on the bulls.

Doesn't Philly already have a better version of Wallace in Thaddeus Young?

Jrue Holliday because I think he'd actually get LaMarcus the ball on a regular basis, he can shoot a little from distance and he's a pretty good defender for a young guy. Lou Williams can definitely fill it up, but there's something about his game that I dislike.

But I can't imagine the 76ers trading us Jrue Holliday.

Nope ... not a chance.

Holliday would be ideal. I don't think Philly's letting him go for cheap though.

I was interested in this so I looked up both player's stats.

Interestingly enough, Lou averages more assists/36 than Holiday. His 26 AST% is also 4% points higher than Holiday's. Holiday did post a 29 AST% last year, so I wonder what's going on.

had been reading some philly fans slightly complaining about Jrue not being a "true" pg recently.

Hmmmm ... that's kind of weird and unexpected. I admit I haven't watched any Sixers games this year aside from them playing the Blazers and a game they played against the Heat. I wonder if he might not be suffering from a little bit of "Steve Blake Syndrome" playing alongside dominant ball-handlers like Iggy and to a lesser extent Evan Turner. His usage rate is pretty low for a starting point guard (same as Raymond Felton and Nic Batum for eg.).

he isn't a true pg. he is like westbrook. but no way we could get him, our best trade piece(besides la) is a position they don't need
