Derrick Williams: Time to Move On?

[Ming Kong!]

If Igudola or something of that caliber comes along, move him. If anything like peanuts or role players/weak picks is being offered. Hell no. That includes someone like Varejao.

LOL the way Varejao is playing this year, makes this hilarious (though I know this was posted over the summer).

Yep he's playing great and worth more than this. However, just wait three weeks for his annual season-ending injury, and it will be an equally unbalanced a trade.

The only one that improves the team is the Kings trade. And that's pretty poor value wise. The others are jokes, and that's coming from someone who wanted Williams traded last season.

The target should be JJ Redick.

I posted in the comment section. Some of those writers should examine the rosters of the teams before they propose dumb trades. I like Austin Rivers and John Jenkins but most of the proposals are garbage.

There is no reason to trade him straight up for older bench players who don't do anything to help us win. Williams is still two years younger than Damian Lilliard and Alexey Shved - I don't care what anyone else says he has the potential and I wouldn't mind continuing to develop him in practice and seeing him get more minutes during garbage time (as well as some meaningful minutes). We can reevaluate him at the end of his contract, the same time Love will have his opt-out and we can have flexibility during that situation.

He looks so much more confident with Rubio out there. 12/5 on about 12 minutes.

it's not even because Rubio is feeding him looks, he just goes harder

[GopherIt!]

Rubio + DWill =

[Piecake]

Play Dwill with Rubio to increase his trade value

“@APkrawczynski: Williams said it's the best he's felt since he's been here. "I just felt I had to step up a little more with Kevin out."”

That's nice to hear. I wanna see more DWill on PF, he looks great playing it.

Had an okay game thanks to Rubio. Dw really needs play within himself a bit more rather than getting confident & then jacking up ****.

[Calinks]

Look at his body language tonight. I'm telling, you he looked like a 12 year old. He was so giddy and excited. At the halftime interview he couldn't even get his words out he was smiling and wanting to giggle so much. You would think he was playing at an all-star level or something all year the way he was enjoying himself. Fun to watch.

As much as I've liked Cunningham, I think we should give his minutes to D-Will when Love gets back. He's showed a bit in the last week and he's obviously the bigger prospect.

Not only prospect but I feel like there are two ways it can go.

D.Will >> Cunningham when D.Will is on. (Obviously)
D.Will < Cunningham when D.Will isn't on.

Cunningham is more consistent so it makes more sense to see which version you're going to get first.

[Tekkenlaw]

I don't think there is any better Love insurance than Williams, why not let him run out his rookie contract and go from there? It's not worth trading someone with D-Will's potential just to fill a few minor holes.
