What are your expectations of Mo Williams and this upcoming season now?

Im gonna say due to Mike Browns lack of an offense, Mo's stats will go down just like everybody else who comes here (Larry, Wally).


 


Im gonna put him at 15.5 ppg 5.5 assists 3 rebs 45% shooting, 37% from 3, and he'll catch the Cleveland free throw bug and go for about 76%. These stats really aren't that bad, id take this, but im hoping for better.


 


I think the maximum he will put up is 18 ppgs 7 assists 4 rebs. I honestly think it all depends on if MB will give him some freedom and actually let him be the PG. If he sticks him in a corner the whole game to watch LeBron hold the ball at the top of the key, then don't blame Mo if his stats drop. I just hope Brown doesn't ruin Mo.


 


Before the trade I had us at about 43-46 wins.


With this roster i'd say 50-52.


Add a pretty good big before the season i'd say 53-55.

Larry Hughes is STILL HORRIBLE


All I want is ONE championship.

I already expected us to have another 48 to 51 this year and come up with about the 3rd seed. Now Id have to say were getting 54 games and no less than 2nd seed.

Id say 3rd seed at most to be honest. Boston is 1 obviously. And everyone is always saying Detroit is getting old, their done, blah blah blah, yet they are top team every single year. Orlando also scares me in the regular season. Who knows just how good Dwight Howard is gonna be.


 


Lets face it, the Cavs are a better playoff team than regular season team (which is a good thing). LeBron doesn't try as hard in the regular season and neither do a lot of other players.


 


I never really see us being a dominate regular season team, maybe a pretty good one though.

I can't give a good answer until I know what the finalized roster will look like going into training camp.


 


Even then, it will be hard to say because it is unlikely that Pavs and AV are here past the trade deadline. 


 


This roster will look a lot better by February.  You can count on that.  If you twist my arm, I would have to say 51 or 52 wins.  However, that is if the team stays relatively healthy all year.  They managed 45 wins last year with all of the problems they had, so it is possible to improve upon that.

Ever thus to deadbeats, Lebowski.

I do expect that Mike Brown will give Mo Wililams some freedoms at PG.


 


That being said, Mo Williams gives us a huge upgrade offensively. If he can buy into Mike Browns defensive system, than I see us getting to 50 wins again, with probably around the 3rd seed. I do see us making another move though, and if we get ourselves a scoring threat at the PF or SG positions, than I could defnitely see us challenging for the 2nd maybe even top seed. I definitely don't think that Boston is untouchable, and I don't think that they will have as good as a regular season as they did last year.

Mike Brown will do what he did to Delonte. Pass the ball to Lebron and go stand over and watch him get tripled. Yep that sounds about right. We could get Kobe and he would suck here because of Mike Browns inability to run a team and run some freaking offensive plays!!!

If Mo's ft% goes down to 76%(nearly 10%),Chris Gent should be fired. We already have seen what he has done with LeBron's FT stroke, absolutely nothing. He shot nearly 76% in his rookie year.... wtf, mate?


 


 


I'm hoping Mo will be trusted with more balhandling duties than Delonte and Boobie were/are. Mo is a proven ballhandler and distributor, he has the ball in his hands a lot during crunch time. I have seen zero new offense implemented into summer league, so I'm not really expecting any changes to take effect, especially right away, during the regular season. With all this said, I believe Mo will put up 16-18 ppg 5-8apg, and around 3 rpg., all while shooting in the high 40%s from the field, and near 40% from 3  He has yet to have the luxury of a post player who commands so much attention, let alone an all around monster who commands attention from all five players. We are a smart, athletic, three point shooting, defensive minded SG away from title contenders, imo. The Raja Bell of a few years ago would have been great. A younger James Posey would have been great. Joe Dumars would be perfect, lol.

I still dont think none of yall got a grip on how good Mo is.


 


His points should go up for so many reasons, including that hes playing with the best passer in basketball, LBJ. And his assists will skyrocket playing with the best finisher in basketball, LBJ.


 


He didnt have either of those things in Milwaukee and I expect him to possibly be an allstar next season if we got a good record.
