Yes
Lance is a much smarter player
Who can play d, drive, pass, and hit the three
He's a glue guy and knows his role. He was a big part of our decent start
D will is not a consistent player and if he's not scoring, he's not effective

He has flopped on every team he's been on so far. Not a long term solution

I agree with your most of your points, but Lance isn't the best driver to the basket, and he is the WORST passer on the team. Dude flubbed so many routine inbounds pass and has tunnel vision at times. Keeping Lance should be a bigger priority for Phil than retaining D Will. Let someone else overpay for him.

Struggled for the most part in his series, but I like Crabbe because he's a quality three point shooter with solid defensive ability and he's young. Fournier or Crabbe are my guys because I'm worried Bazemore and Turner will be pricy. I like the trade for Collison concept since it leaves us with capspace to add one of the aforementioned SG's and then we can add a big with more agility...dream would be snatching up Dwight Powell on a poison pill deal but I know that's not realistic. Wouldn't mind bringing Dwill back at all, he seemed like he was starting to get it from Feb. on.

Dellavedova and Solomon Hill are intriguing, too, imo.

Now watch blatt go and be Luke's replacement in golden state since that was originally his job in the first place

Nah. Son has already taken a team to the nba finals and had the best record in the conference when he got fired. That kind of dude doesn't go sit as an assistant somewhere.

There's still another opening in Sacramento so Blatt can wind up there. If they strike out on everyone and have to keep Rambis :mjlol:

Even if he is(which is quite questionable these days), accounting in the respective contracts, it's a no brainer who brings more value to the team. It aint Howard.

fukk him. Lopez played well for us and isn't a lockeroom cancer. We don't need anymore team drama literally every franchise he's gone too has ended badly.

Eh!

Howard is not that much better than Lopez. At least Lopez has some offensive skills in the post. Howard on the other hand just uses power, which is fading BTW; Lopez is a way better value.
