Especially with not even having to argue the Horford fit with you. Him starting and playing 30 mpg last year on a 57-25 record team playing 63 games tells me he is fine for 25-28 mpg with Lively and Powell backing him up. His contract ends after 2 years where he’ll most likely retire which is just in time for us to know if Lively is the right guy. He is plus value.
The problem is he is already 37 years old. I don't think it's wise to spend our last tradeable draft pick for a 37-year old guy.
Grant Williams is a decent player but I'd rather not sign him to more than the MLE. He's an average defender, above-average 3-point shooter and does nothing else well.
I think our 27 1st round pick is worth more than that.
GWill would also be good to start with Maxi and OMax backing him up (until OMax surpasses him amirite Cow?). I think he is a plus.
Getting off of McGee’s contract is a plus.
Not seeing Powell and Bullock start is a huge plus.
Plenty of value for the 27 FRP.
Just my opinion though as I can respect yours.
