I don't pay 1-and-done guys any attention until Year 3. I just figure them as bad players and pretty much ignore them, until they become old enough to be useful. Unless they catch my eye, as with early Trae and early LaMelo. Obviously PWill hasn't caught my eye.

Agreed, but a buy out candidate is a great option as well.

A guy I wouldn't mind grabbing for cheap is Robin lopez from the magic who clearly is out of the rotation and done in Orlando. He is a big body who rebounds and can score in the low post and would be good with our 2nd unit. Unless father time has really caught up with him and that is why Orlando is not playing him.

His current defensive metrics seem pretty bad. He was slow on the switch back in 2016. I’m certain he’s basically a scarecrow at this point. Maybe he’d rebound and score better than Bradley.

I imagine Troy Brown would be the bait in such a trade. Probably worth waiting. If Derozan or Zach ever have to miss a game(s), it’ll be very good to have a 6’7 reserve wing who could handle and hit the corner 3, even to fill some bench minutes.

Nobody missing Patrick Williams. Guy is bad at basketball. When team miss him more as 9th rotation player to play spare minutes at PF with no frontcourt much beside Vuc you know guy isnt any good. But just because we are in situation where we lack frontcourt depth doesnt mean he is solution to a problem. He is part of the problem.


PAtrick Williams provides what this needs exactly, even with his low motor.
- 4th option offense, and he is great at that. His jumper is just money, everytime he shoots it, it goes in
- strong, taller option than anyone else at the 4. We wouldn't get abused at the 4 as we normally do.
- I think people forget that he was injured all training camp. He would be like Coby, making slow improvements and the infectious energy would get to him and I think by playoffs he would have been a valuable player
