He's made over $60 mil over his career and Mo doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would blow through his money, but he did go from playing for a winning team to signing for the most money he could get with a poopy team.
So as much as I wish he would be willing to play for the minimum at this point, I think he's going to go for the highest bidder and I don't think our taxpayer's MLE will be enough.
I also would prefer to use that MLE to get a younger player like KJ McDaniels.
I don't doubt that he wouldn't expect less to come back. He understands their cap situation.
That was a very telling Instagram picture/caption....plus the actual timing of it?
He knows they need a 2nd/3rd guard and we could definitely use more offensive firepower off the bench next year.
There are a couple of guys I would prefer to check on first with the taxpayer MLE, but I would not be upset at all at giving it to Mo for 2 years with an option for tear 3. I mean, I think its safe to say he'd give us far more on the floor than Mike Miller has so far this year.
So, allowing the mind to wander and then buying into the notion that Gilbert will go all out.
Imagine this team coming back fully healthy. All our own FAs resigned and Mo Williams(taxpayerMLE), Tiago Splitter(Haywood trade), and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson/Justin Anderson with pick 24
Certainly other variations of how to use those 3 assets but that is one scenario I could live with 24/7
If we are given picks for Haywood's contract, it is because we took back some salary. Haywood's contract only has value to alleviate some salary from other teams. If we use it, we have to take on salary.I am finding it hard to believe we use Haywood to take on more salary. The tax bill will be crazy. I am thinking it is more realistic to use it to bring in a couple 2nds or a late 1st.
As far as timing, his sister is in the hospital at Cleveland Clinic...
Wow, you guys would actually want Mo Williams back? I think he's one of the worst NBA players I have ever seen, and I was disappointed when he got injured in the Spurs-Blazers series last year since he's such an awful point guard with no court awareness. I wouldn't want Mo on a minimum contract, and I doubt LeBron would want him back either. I always found it really frustrating watching Cavs games and seeing him shoot ridiculous 20 footers after dribbling for a few seconds instead of actually running an offense. Good luck tonight and in the rest of the playoffs, I'm rooting for you guys to win it all, but God I hope you guys never sign him unless he starts looking to come to San Antonio. Then I'd be happy for you all to steal him from us.

Apparently you've only watched the Spurs, because the Cavs alone have had plenty of players far far worse than Mo Williams.Wow, you guys would actually want Mo Williams back?
