Once the dust settled from the Blake Griffin trade, the next question on the minds of Clippers fans were: Who's next?

DeAndre?

Lou?

The whole team?!

On Wednesday, the club took Lou Williams' name off the board as the Clippers and their star guard have agreed to a three-year contract extension.

"I am very happy to be staying here in L.A. as a Clipper," said Williams in a statement. "It's a great organization with a positive culture and I like where we are headed as a basketball team. We have a great group of guys here. I have been on a lot of teams and a lot of times these situations don't always go my way, this one did and I am thankful for that."
