Oso, Williams, Richards, Khaman that is not a winning big man rotation
Then you have a gazillion SG.

Dude we went from Richards/Oso to Williams/Maluach. You dudes constantly moan about every single move.



I think Williams is a better player but the concern is injuries for two FRPs. Granted still cheap and if healthy can stay healthy …. It’s fine


And I like the Malauch pick for sure


2 firsts is not cheap

I'd do it but I'd want some draft capital.

Would be funny if it happened though. They would've moved Simons and multiple seconds for essentially a worse version of Simons in Jalen.

That's one of my worries with this C rotation. It's essentially the same prototype of C. Defensive C's who doesn't have much offense and can't step outside of dunking vicinity.

Trade Beal and a future pick for Grant and Holiday. Then also trade richards.

Holiday / Gillespie
Green / Allen
Booker / Brooks
Dunn / Oneale
Williams / Maluah / Oso

We just never learn

When you have too many guys with similar skillsets you left other boxes unchecked. We better not keep all of them...

I think it's fine. It's two firsts likely at the very back end.

Its the 29th pick and one that's swapped like 4 times.

If Williams can actually stay on the court it's a great value trade. Big if
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

Why does everyone think you need a Center to shoot 3s lol.

A healthy williams would be worth a 10-15 pick in this draft.
