> I understand that teams in these contracts are paying for future production, not past production. If I’m going to give you like $100M, I’d like to have some past production. Patrick Williams has done some stuff, but like that’s just… if that’s the number, if that ends up being true and the Vassell deal ends up being the comp that his agents go to, that’s a lot of cheese.

That’s a lot of money for someone who might be Marvin Williams Jr. Jr.
$21M seems a little high
Honestly so do I
End me
I loved Pat-Will coming out of the draft but dude just doesn’t seem to have any semblance of “Dog” in him.
Who’s Pat Williams?
The Wizards have a new FO and I doubt anyone else is that stupid
Isn’t he very promising? Tough
Pat Williams and I are more alike than I thought…
I love Pat, but anything north of 100/4 would be madness.
What is his best accomplishment/game? How is he justifying that
2 million a year it is. I’m shocked he wants the minimum
I mean hes pretty good but IDK about $200M/year good, feel free to enlighten me if I’m wrong tho
Shit he better start hooping then
Totally depends on how he looks this year. Absolutely nobody is giving him $100M+ for a 4th straight 10/5-ish season.
To get paid for potential you have to actually display you’re making steps towards that potential.
He better fucking win MVP this year then
Imagine paying Pat Williams 70 million more dollars than Devin Vassell
Dudes gonna hit restricted free agency and be super disappointed
I wish I had that kind of delusion
Lol @ people disliking players for wanting a bag, if he doesn’t deserve it the market will reflect that
Just rebuild, Bulls
Who?!
Well, he’ll end up being the next PJ Washington then. That’s no biggie. The Bulls will easily call that bluff.
These guys are licking their chops with the new media deal coming but there will be rude awakenings ahead.
I do agree with others that PWill has some legit upside, although I don’t think it’s quite All Star upside. I don’t see that ever happening. He hasn’t shown enough to be projected to that level the way Vassell has.
Giving him 20 mil + would be moronic and continue to set the bulls back years, so it’ll probably happen
P will pros and cons
Pros:
Has a high 3% pt
Can get a decent midrange shot up pretty much whenever he wants
Is incredibly athletic
Seems like a good dude
Good at both individual and help defense
You can make an argument he has more potential while not being the 4th option and while not being on a garbage franchise like the bulls
Cons:
His 3 point shot is slow
His handle/drive/finishing around the rim isn’t very good
Doesn’t draw free throws
Very disappointing rebounder for his size and athleticism
Does not appear to have that dog in him
Who?
$21M?
I could see both parties agreeing to something like 5 yrs, $100M ($20M/yr). He hasn’t earned more than that, IMO.
Unless he qualifies under the Rose rule, $200M/5 guaranteed is not possible, at a 25% of cap contract, for a 4-7 year player.
HAHA. Me too Pat. He deserves 4 years 40 million for what he has accomplished, which is absolutely nothing. Unless he actually produces and is consistent this year he can forget it. Didn’t think he was this delusional.
This is so fucking funny, I guess this is our start to the play in aspirations we have for the season.
Many players have gotten completely delusional about their actual worth. Just because there is a possibility doesn’t mean they have automatically earned it. Of course everyone is trying to make the max out of their situation but come on…
What a deal! 2m is great value for a player of his caliber
I’m a Paw Stan but that contract ain’t happening.
Man sometimes I wish I had this much ego 😂
Some where a fantasy player talks himself into drafting this guy right now.
Surely he doesn’t have the audacity to ask for $200 million
What an annoyingly vague way to phrase the number by Lowe lol.
He better literally turn into prime Kawhi before asking for that
Have fun in China, bud!
He’s done nothing to prove he’s worth more than WCJ (ironic) adjusted for current market and maybe he’s worth 17m/year max. He’s not even the 4th best player on his team…
Who?
21?!
Every player should walk in asking for the max. You won’t get it, but it’s important to anchor higher than lower in negotiations.
He always expects like $40m in 2K
and yet if you told me the bulls front office was considering 200M i wouldn’t be even slightly surprised.
He’s okay, shooting splits are nice, maybe a 4th or 5th option on another team… but averaging 10,4,1,1,1 is not the business. If he doubled those averages, or even approached 15&8 with some stocks that would be something.
I would trade almost every other player on their team.
It’s worth noting he’s from Charlotte and that city has a terrible track record.
