>The Toronto Raptors’ need for rangy combo forwards is a good illustration of how quickly rosters can change in the NBA. It wasn’t so long ago that the Raps were deep into the positionless experiment many dubbed “Project 6’9″”, during which they over-indexed on exactly that player type.
>Scottie Barnes and Jalen McDaniels are the only such players under contract in Toronto for next year, which means a good chunk of the Raptors’ projected cap space should probably go to a free agent who can man the 3 or the 4 in flexible lineups.
…
The Bulls have DeMar DeRozan’s unrestricted free agency to consider and tend to operate in a misguided win-now mode that could marginalize their 22-year-old former lottery pick. This is a bet that Toronto will swoop in with an offer sheet competitive enough to pry away the so-far underwhelming forward.
>With Immanuel Quickley, Barnes and R.J. Barrett, Toronto is skewing younger with its core. That makes it a logical fit for Williams ahead of his age-23 season. A low-usage offensive player who hasn’t shown any knack for self-sufficient shot creation, Williams has quietly pumped his career hit-rate on threes up to 41.0 percent.

Articles like these would be boring if they predicted every restricted free agent to stay on their current team, but that being said RFA’s rarely move teams anymore since other teams don’t want to tie up their cap space on an offer sheet that will probably just get matched.
I would be pretty surprised if we let PWill walk
I don’t think anyone is going to offer him anything we wouldn’t match. Him missing this year definitely hurt his negotiating position
Fuck no
PWill and Scottie together hm…
I’d be happy to see the Bulls stop operating in a misguided win-now mode!
