This time around, another one of Leonard’s former <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/los-angeles-clippers">Los Angeles Clippers</a> teammates in Lou Williams, who is now with the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/atlanta-hawks">Atlanta Hawks</a>, has decided to apeak out on Kawhi’s work ethic.</p><p>In a recent appearance on a <a href="https://youtu.be/oNMS-Q5-DOg">podcast</a>, Williams hilariously revealed how Kawhi Leonard operates at an extremely slow pace:</p><blockquote>“Kawhi is there an hour and a half before practice, he’s there an hour and a half after practice, but that’s just his speed though … he need half the day to get his shit together,” Williams <a href="https://twitter.com/joeylinn_/status/1434285436600418305">said</a>.</blockquote><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Lou Williams on Kawhi Leonard: “Kawhi is there an hour and a half before practice, he’s there an hour and a half after practice, but that’s just his speed tho… he need half the day to get his shit together.”</p><p>😂😂😂 <a href="https://t.co/SA4IXQkJJx" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/SA4IXQkJJx</a></p><p>— Joey Linn (@joeylinn_) <a href="https://twitter.com/joeylinn_/status/1434285436600418305?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">September 4, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>To be clear, Lou Williams isn’t bashing Kawhi here. As a matter of fact, the context of this conversation was comparing Leonard to a few all-time greats in James Harden, Allen Iverson, and Kobe Bryant. All Williams is pointing out is that Kawhi operates at such a slow speed. Nonetheless, he still gets the job done.</p><p>Leonard made headlines recently after former Raptors teammate Kyle Lowry opened up about how Kawhi “rubbed people the wrong way” during his time in Toronto. While Leonard’s ball-dominant style of play did not sit well with everyone, Lowry wasn’t really bothered by it. It’s all about winning for him, and he and Leonard did just that with the Raptors.</p><p>Williams’ statement here is somewhat similar. This could easily be misinterpreted as a diss against Kawhi Leonard when, in fact, Lou is actually speaking highly about his ex-teammate.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Williams mentions he was attending the wake of a father figure in his life, which the Clippers permitted him to attend.</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><blockquote>“I came out the bubble, I got permission to go. Was COVID tested everyday. His wake was on Walker street, right by Magic City. We left the wake. We said we were gonna grab something to eat .. then head back to the bubble.”“Then Jack Harlow walks in. This where sh-t kinda goes left. … Jack had recently got the number one record, the <i>WHATS POPPIN </i>record. So when I seen him, I was excited to see him. I was like, ‘bro, let’s take a shot. To celebrate the song or whatever’. And so as we were taking the shot, Jack say, ‘Yo, is it cool if I take a picture?” .. I said I don’t see a problem with it since we both got our masks on. We took the picture, it went out, and I think at that time we underestimated his celebrity.”</blockquote><p>It was at that point where social media went crazy on Lou Williams ditching the Clippers to go to Magic City. The memes and the clowning went full throttle towards Sweet Lou, when according to his story, it was much more tame than it seemed.</p><blockquote>“It just went viral. ‘Lou snuck out the bubble to go to Magic City and came back.’ I was trying to jeopardize the championship when I had permission to be where I was.”</blockquote><p>The Clippers ended up falling to the Denver Nuggets in the second round after giving up a 3-1 lead. Had Lou Williams not had to delay his return with his club, perhaps things would have shaken out a little differently.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Atlanta Hawks made an underrated re-signing after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hawks-news-lou-williams-agrees-to-1-year-5-million-deal-to-return-to-atlanta/">reaching an agreement with Lou Williams</a>. After an impressive run in the 2021 NBA Playoffs, the Hawks hope to recapture that magic with Williams serving as a veteran leader off of the bench.</p><p><a href="https://hoopshype.com/2021/08/05/source-lou-williams-atlanta-hawks-deal/">According to Hoops Hype</a>, Lou Williams had plenty of interest during free agency. He had numerous contenders interested in signing him, including “the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, and Milwaukee Bucks.” Lou Williams played an important role for the Hawks in the postseason, filling in for Trae Young in the Eastern Conference Finals.</p><p>Williams aims to continue playing as one of the main role players for the Hawks moving forward. Considering his age, he proved to be an asset throughout the year, averaging 10 points per game and shooting an impressive 44.4% from beyond the arc. To make another deep run in the playoffs next year, the Hawks will need a repeat performance from everyone on the roster.</p><p>It is surprising that Lou Williams opted to re-sign with the Hawks when better contenders were reaching out to him. Had he joined the Los Angeles Lakers, Williams would likely have become a main outside option, receiving multiple open looks with LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook dominating the paint.</p><p>He would have been a nice scheme fit for the Golden State Warriors as well. With Klay Thompson coming back, Williams would have served as a nice scoring option on the bench whenever Stephen Curry and Thompson needed a break. Even being on the Bucks would have made sense as he’d be joining the current NBA champions.</p><p>Instead, Lou Williams has found a home in Atlanta and seems to enjoy his situation with the Hawks. We’ll see how it goes for this team, as the Hawks organization will have high expectations moving forward.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s a short one-year deal for “Sweet Lou” but that was somewhat to be expected.</p><p>Atlanta looks primed to run it back in the 2021-22 season with much of the same squad from a year ago.

He put up 7.7 points, 1.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 18 postseason games for Atlanta–including two starts. He had his best moment with a 21-point, eight-rebound and five-assist performance in Game 4 of the East Finals against the Milwaukee Bucks, allowing them to tie the series at 2-2.</p><p>If the rumors proved to be true and he returns to the Hawks at such a huge discount, it would undoubtedly be a massive boost for an Atlanta team looking to keep John Collins as well.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
