[Lowe] I’m hearing Patrick Williams wants big, big numbers for his next contract… like, starts with a 2 and isn’t $20M. (alien.top)

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.

Starting about 32 minutes into The Lowe Post.

I don’t think he deserves it but if I were his agent this would be my argument:

Jerami Grant/Devin Vessel make this money and would be my baseline. My client was a 4th overall pick whose offensive opportunities have been limited playing with 3 dominant scorers who don’t play D. He could easily put up Devin’s numbers given the same opportunity and has more upside then Grant long term. Meanwhile my client has played elite D while shooting 40% on 3s with those 3 guys who don’t play D. My client can defend 1-4. Overall Pat Williams is just a great guy!

Grant is much more proven and a better player. Vassell is a good comp but he has shown more imo as well
