Lou Williams is my favorite option for the Mavericks this deadline season. As shown in his season with the Raptors, Williams can excel when he is put in the right situation with the right players.

After starting 35 games his first season in LA, Walton decided to put Lou back into his role as a sixth man and his numbers have gone up in almost every facet of the game. As with Young, Lou-Will would be a great scorer for the Mavericks and a serious threat from behind the arc.

Williams has been one of the league’s top bench scorer and his league experience would prove very helpful for the young guards in Ferrell and Curry.

I really expect Dallas to make some moves before that February 23rd deadline hits and I think the Mavericks will be able to land some notable players.

I recommend that all the MFFLs out there keep their eyes out for something to happen in D-town as the Mavericks make a last effort to create the best team they can as the season moves closer and closer to the end.
