We're coming off a 27 win season. We shouldn't be writing off any decent players, even if he's just brought in as a future trade asset. I tend to think he has a Jeff Green type of career. Great player? No. Decent trade asset? Sure.

Particularly if we're just moving back a few spots and could still potentially get the player we wanted at 6.

That $6m in salary we'd be on the hook for is $6m less we have to offer to a starting 3 like Martell Webster or Dorell Wright.


I don't mind eating a contract like Marion for a draft pick because Marion at least plays a position we could use.

Williams, though? He will sit on the bench for us and cost a shite-ton of money to do so if we can't find a taker for him.
