I think I'd spend assets to move Williams to the bench if I were spending assets. Lively is going to be really good some day. His offense is going to be more that we were led to believe. He and Powell will be fine as early as next season. I'm not doing anything with Green. I'm excited to someday see the 25 or 26 year old version of him. GWill doesn't have near the upside of Green. Real contention comes when we have someone who clearly pushes him to the bench.
Yeah that is a good point. We will need one more 3/4. I have always viewed it will be Green, Williams, Omax (hope he can play) and X. Ideally that X is a taller wing....at least 6'8 but hopefully taller. If you have four wings of good caliber you would hope you could play 3 of them together at times. Such as Williams plays small ball 5. X is your bigger wing and Josh/Omax is the other wing. I think that would be the ideal pairing. Who is that X though?
