How much is Lou worth? That's an excellent question. It's hard to find a comparable to him, but one offer sheet signed recently can be used as a barometer. The OKC Sonics signed C.J. Miles to a 4-year/$16M sheet which the Jazz have 7 days to match.
Miles is a good shooter (39% from three), but played a minor role on the Jazz. I was hoping the Sixers wouldn't have to pay this much to retain Lou, but if Miles is worth that much after averaging 5 points in 11 minutes/game for Utah, you'd have to think Lou's 11.5 points in 23.4 minutes would be worth more.
Hopefully the Miles deal is an aberration and the Sixers will be able to get Lou on the cheap, but I won't be holding my breath.
Here's the question, at what point does Lou become too expensive? Is there a dollar figure or a length of contract you wouldn't want to see the Sixers pass in their effort to keep him?

Warriors just traded for Marcus Williams from the Nets so they will no way offer Lou anything.
Sixers should be able to sign him on the cheap as the warriors were the only team with cash to sign him..
