If DFS is an issue with those others...which of GW and DJJ are you parting with?
I guess you feell out DJJ and see if his shot and defense are consistent. He has the length we need. I like Williams...I was reading on a Celtics forum that he started out hot for us but should equalize shooting wise. Ive already made a post of that...not making it up.
So...tough nosed Williams who is Luka's friend? Or DJJ? Seems like even though I think I have read that Williams was benched late in Playoff games...he still had somewhat of an impact on games. That sounds contradictory, Im aware. Almost seems like you just avoid DFS even though he has size, maybe some left in the tank for defense, has a 3 shot and knows our system. But Im not in the know enough to know if that would be smart or not.
I don't think DFS is an issue with those two. Green is going to get minutes at the two as well as the three. The stated goal of some knowledgeable posters here is to get someone good enough to bench GW. DFS is that man in size and fit. DJJ should be bench anyway. If they keep starting him, he's going to price out on us, in which case the supposed problem you brought up is "solved" when DJJ walks, but then you have to replace his minutes with someone not as good.
In my scenario, for this year, post trade the regular season minutes would be something like
Kyrie 30 - Exum 15
Luka 30 - Hardy 8 - Green 10
Green 10 - GW 30 - DJJ 8
DFS 30 - DJJ 18
Lively 25 - new backup center 23
