Williams has been, more or less, the exact same guy for 3 years. All he's proven in the league is that he can be a 10/4/1/1/1 guy.
He's a good shooter, but unless he proves he can be a #1 or #2 option, he's not worth $20+ million a year.

Surely he doesn’t have the audacity to ask for $200 million
$20.5M?
If you ask for 15 and they offer 10 and you find each other in the middle then you get 12,5
But if you ask for 20 and they offer 10 then the middle is 15.
I see what you did there Pat Will
What an annoyingly vague way to phrase the number by Lowe lol.
Who?
I’m a fan of his and think he has crazy potential, but dude has to get someone in his corner that will humble him make sure he doesn’t fumble whatever bag he is offered.
Is he going to be the next contract year guy to get overpaid and underperform?
bro is delusional
Then he needs to average something with a 2 and it isn’t 12 points
I honestly don’t buy this for a second.
Wouldn’t surprise me if his initial target is higher than his expected worth but that’s how practically any negotiation goes. 200m seems like Lowe trying to stir shit up.
Pat isn’t a star my guy, no way Lowe was looking for this story. No doubt Pats team leaked this to him, my guess is because Bulls have already approached him with an offer then is comparing to his production.
Full list of Patrick Williams NBA accomplishments:
- Made the NBA
Anyone got any other?
He’s closer to the vet min then that lol
Who is Patrick Williams?
Get this man a PROVE IT DEAL
I'll be honest I can't say for certain I'm familiar with his game.
Have fun in China, bud!
I'm a pretty big nba fan, mavs fan, listen to Bill Simmons every week, and on first reading this I have no idea who Patrick Williams is or who he plays for.
I dig the confidence to have a goal like that but you gotta produce.
Who?
I too am looking for big numbers in my next contracts.. like, starts with a 2 and isn't $20M. It's $200K
I’m hearing Kelvin Benjamin wants big, big numbers for his next weigh-in… like, starts with a 3 and isn’t 30LBs.
There’s nothing wrong with “knowing your worth” or believing in yourself. NBA has a history of giving big contracts based on potential. Based on the context of the convo it appears Lowe is referring to anywhere between $21-$29 mil/year, not $200 mil total contract. He’s only 22 and has potential but his main issue like most people in this post have said, is passiveness.
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.
Prove it, this year! Signed, My Fantasy team.
He always expects like $40m in 2K
It’s worth noting he’s from Charlotte and that city has a terrible track record.
Why would any team do that? Because of unrealized potential? That he’s had time to realize at this point.
Basically trying to get paid for his production in the next 4-5 years.
As we have seen, no bad contract is unmovable.
Motherfucker averaged #TEN points last year and fuck all else
