Last March, Lou Williams was traded by the Los Angeles Clippers to the Atlanta Hawks. At that time, the rear, very attached to the California training, thought of retiring. But ultimately, this exchange also helped revive it.
Back home, the Atlanta native gradually found a smile. Used when leaving the bench to blow Bring Young, the 34-year-old veteran brought his qualities to the offensive plan. Thus, he contributed to the great adventure of the Hawks, finalists in the East.
As anticipated, Williams therefore chose to continue with this team! According to The Athletic Shams Charania journalist, he signed with the Hawks for $5 million over one year. A logical agreement between the two parties.
For the Hawks, this deal confirms the plans of the leaders: to continue in the same vein. This summer, Atlanta has mainly bet on the players already present in its workforce with the XXL extensions of Young and John Collins.
With Lou Williams, the Georgia franchise ensures the presence of an experienced element to express itself with the “second unit”. A win-win deal.
Lou Williams plays an awesome mentor for Trae Young, but not for what you think
