2) I’m fine with a combination of Grant Williams, DJJ, O-Max and even a little Kleber when size is needed for now. I think Williams will grow into this role, maybe not to an ideal level, but better than the past few weeks. I think DJJ is a weapon there, and I feel the best option MIGHT be to wait for O-Max to be ready.
We just don’t KNOW what this team is really going to need yet. There’s so much developing youth here at the same time right now, and we haven’t even seen them in a playoff series yet.
Thanks for acknowledging the irony. I would submit that if GWill was on a different team right now, he'd be just as quickly written off as Collins and the rest. Maybe a backup 4/3, but I suspect you and everyone else here would say "I'm not giving up assets for Boston's backup (undersized) four". I'm also not a fan of GWill starting next to a skinny center like Lively. Nico's word "force" is a good one and GWill isn't that.
To the last point, the question is patience versus losing a year of Luka/Kyrie's limited window. No team really looks dominant right now. I suspect Dallas will do something to go for it if the opportunity arises.
