Mo opts out

[santeesioux]

It was mentioned in another thread, but Jameer Nelson might be cut, i bet he'd be an okay upgrade.

This isn't news. He has said all along that he would opt out and test the market.

I think we'd be better without him, to create minutes for Crabbe. Also McCollum and Barton.

Instead of signing a new substitute PG, just split sub PG between McCollum and Watson. That won't be as good as Mo, but we need to develop all these young players.

I don't really want to see the Mo I saw in the playoffs again. Not sure what other options are out there.

Collison opted out . . . didn't follow him last year, wonder if he would be an okay upgrade

Why would we use the bae on Mo? We have the non bird exception to resign him with that's worth more than the bae and doesn't use it. That makes no sense

Yeah, we need a pg capable of playing better defense.

If Mo signs elsewhere I'd consider Nate Robinson as a 6 man

He's opting in with Denver I think

Imagine if that is why mo opted out, because he's coming for vet min so we can get lbj. Maybe lebron promised no a ring In Cleveland lol


Seriously though would you be surprised if mo is playing with lebron next season?

I would be surprised if Mo reunited with LBJ.
I remember hearing Mo was about to retire after LBJ left the Cavs. That it hurt him deeply. Basketball has a business side and I'm sure Mo understands that... But I don't remember ever hearing if their relationship was repaired... But that's most likely because I don't follow LBJ like sheep.

Some free agent point guards that I'd prefer we sign before Mo:
Kyle Lowry, 17.9 ppg, 7.4 apg, 3.0 a/t, 42.3 ft%, 38.0 3p%, 20.2 PER, 8 yrs (not going to sign for the MLE)
Darren Collison, 11.4 ppg, 3.7 apg, 2.2 a/5, 46.7 fg%, 37.6 3p%, 16.2 PER, 5 yrs
Mario Chalmers, 9.8 ppg, 4.9 apg, 2.2 a/t, 45.4 fg%, 38.5 3p%, 14.1 PER, 6 yrs
Shaun Livingston, 8.3 ppg, 3.2 apg, 2.3 a/t, 48.3 fg%, 16.7 3p%, 14.5 PER, 9 yrs
Patty Mills, 10.2 ppg, 1.8 apg, 2.3 a/t, 46.4 fg%, 42.5 3p%, 18.8 PER, 5 yrs
DJ Augustin, 13.1 ppg, 4.4 apg, 2.4 a/t, 41.5 fg%, 40.1 3p%, 16.2 PER, 6 yrs
Ramon Sessions, 12.3 ppg, 4.1 apg, 2.3 a/t, 42.9 fg%, 28.2 3p%, 16.0 PER, 7 yrs
Aaron Brooks, 9.0 ppg, 3.2 apg, 2.0 a/t, 40.1 fg%, 38.7 3p%, 12.5 PER, 6 yrs

Mo Williams, 9.7 ppg, 4.3 apg, 2.2 a/t, 41.7 fg%, 36.9 3p%, 11.9 PER, 11 yrs

With that being said, we do own the non-bird rights to Mo, and could bring him back at 120% of his previous salary without losing our MLE or BAE. Bring on two solid bench players with the MLE and BAE, then re-sign Mo as our 3rd guy off the bench. I'm not a big fan of Mo, but I'd prefer to have him on the roster than say Claver or Crabbe.
