We should be! Him and Evans would be real nice on the bench, Evans can play the point right?

Go to around 50:30. Zach Lowe says that we shouldn't give up our 1st round pick for a marginal bench player. Lowe does not like Lou Williams for the Wizards. Windhorst says that he's one of the worst defensive players he's ever seen and his game doesn't hold up in the playoffs. Specifically citing the Toronto playoffs, Lowe says that refs don't fall for Lou's bull**** in the playoffs. He goes on to say that he would rather get Collison for the Wiz but he wouldn't give up a 1st rounder for him either.
1st rounders are worth a lot guys. Don't throw it in the trash can.

I think calling Lou Will a marginal bench player is harsh and incorrect. He's been a solid NBA player throughout his career. He's having an incredible year. I think folks are stuck on the fact he comes off the bench, he's a gunner & he's a poor defender. Windhorst is a windbag... unless he's blowing smoke up LeBron's you know what he's not an expert on anything. He's the same guy that called Gortat a good bench player like two years ago. I don't see Windhorst trashing Kyrie, Lillard or Isaiah's defense. Lou didn't play well in that Toronto series but the fact is he's a. having a much better year now b. won't have Wall/Beal locking him down on D. Wall, Beal & Porter made everyone on Toronto's perimeter look bad that series. Lowry, DeRozan & Ross too.
If were able to swap Nicholson for Williams I think it's worth it. I would probably hesitate to do the deal or ask for a pick swap (high 2nd for a low 1st) if Nicholson is not included.
Collison is a far inferior player and not a true PG either. He's less of a gunner and only a marginally better defender so unless your preferring Collison for stylistic reasons because his game is more moderate and easier on the eye, there's really no reason to prefer him. Collison is also a 2-3 month rental so he's definitely not worth a 1st rounder.
Code: Select all
PG: Collison Galloway Lawson

Lol people just days ago were offering our 1st rounder + Nicholson for Lou and ACTING like the Lakers would say no. Of course I would be more than happy to swap Nicholson for Williams straight up. That post is directed at Wizards fans who value Lou Williams at a 1st rounder.

I'd love Temple back. He's been solid for them. I wonder if he's available?
Galloway is also a guy I'd really look into signing... especially since he's getting released I believe.

would you do Burke and our 2018 1st top 10 protected for Will Barton? I would also like to draft a guy this offseason.

NatP4 wrote:the whole reason to favor Collison over Lou Williams would be the cost, Collison probably only takes a 2nd rounder and an expiring contract, and he's more of a true point guard, better defensively, been a consistently good offensive player his entire career. Lou can turn into a completely inefficient chucker that can't guard anyone or rebound, Collison is always a rock solid backup PG.
a lot of us have been saying what Lowe and Windhorst just said, Lou is useless in the playoffs, he gets exposed when teams gameplay for him, we did it to him. He can't guard ANYONE or rebound(which is why id rather have Barton). Lowe makes an excellent point also, refs don't give him that call on his signature drive left and flop while throwing the ball at the basket.

I'm sorry but when did Collison morph into a real PG who plays solid defense? When did Collison become a clutch playoff performer? You bash Williams for things that Collison isn't very good at either.

Agreed, I see no reason why we need to give up any 1st at this point. Collison can be had for Burke and a 2nd, Evans and/or Galloway will be waived, and I assume at least one other legit Guard will be waived over the next few days
