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.
Written off for a target acquired through the use of an asset(s)? Yes! But, I bet I'd still be one of the more favorable reactors, even if I didn't like a proposed deal. I'm still a believer in his TYPE as a fit, and no amount of reminders of one word Harrison said in one interview will change that. I want a PJ Tucker clone in that role, as long as the 5 is a roller. Undersized (by your standards) is ok, too, as long as it comes with quick, fast and good shooting, while being physical enough (all by my standards). Either Williams can or can't be that player, but that's the TYPE I want, personally.
Losing a year of Luka/Kyrie's window, since apparently anything but winning a championship qualifies as that in this conversation, is inevitable. No choice. I'd be smart and actually use the season to the maximum good that could come from it (as I see that, of course. It's my opinion). There literally isn't a deal that wins Dallas a championship this season. I'm all for deals that get them closer, but I'm not as sure as you seem to be that we even know what they should be buying.
