Lebron and Raptor have him as a slightly negative player. Winscore and winshare have him as slightly positive. TS% easily over 60% so he’s efficient but not a shot hunter. Should be a good fit with Luka. Still pretty young. Sounds like a solid 7th or 8th man when this team is finally ready to roll. Not a home run, but not the worst idea either.
Williams would be the chef kiss for me for the offseason. Has played in a lot of big games, does things this team needs, and would bring some toughness/wild card to the team. Would love him as a rotation piece. I just don't think you get him for the MLE and I am not sure how excited Boston is to give him away. Might not be a fit there now, but he is a good name to keep in the back of your mind.
I think we need to be aggressive but also patient. Atlanta is going to need to do something. Just a pure shorter contract dump for Collins would be intriguing. Bullock plus Hardaway. Something like that. Collins would be in the higher tier of players, but he also has a bad contract. If we just use the MLE, we probably get a lesser tier player but one on a more manageable contract.
