I think I’m on an island here, but Williams the actual player doesn’t do much for me. If the reason to be excited about Williams is potential, then I’m just as (if not more) keen to pursue other future facing assets. Like, if they are being really resistant to putting him in the deal and really want Gobert (they really should), then that theoretically means you can ask for more elsewhere.
I’ve said this before but I’m as high but probably higher on Ayo than I am Williams. Vuc (necessary matching salary), Ayo, White, #18, an unprotected future 1st, and either another 1st or a raft of 2nds sounds fair to me if the Jazz are intent on trading Gobert.
