So lets say the Jazz could trade Ante Tomic and another young player to a struggling team for a steady wing player. Would you do it to improve the team now?
Maybe. Memo for Steven Jackson. Or Memo and the rights to Tomic for Steven Jackson.
My only concern is that we're playing so well right now and Jackson coming here would want a minimum of I'd guess 25 minutes a night (and that's a low estimate) which would cut significantly into Bell, Miles and AK's time, thus affecting team chemistry and perhaps morale.
So my actual answer is probably, no, not for right now. But let's see how we evolve as a team over the next 30-45 days, especially when Memo returns, and make a decision then.
AK/Hayward/Tomic for Kevin Martin and Shane Battier? Obviously, the Rockets only consider that if they continue to lose and they want to shed salary/bring in youth.
1. To me that looks like a 12-man (or at the very least 11 man) rotation which makes absolutely no sense.Let's say we did do SJax for Memo. How would the minutes look and are the following below enough that the troops would still be happy?
Deron (36), Price (6), Watson (6)
Jackson (24), Bell (24)
AK (22), Miles (20), Jackson (6)
Millsap (34), AK (7), Evans (7)
Jefferson (34), Fes/Elson (10), AK (4)
I think this is a pretty solid breakdown of minutes played...If not, why?

I would say no to this. Martin is a grade A chucker who needs the ball to be effective, he is also a worse defender by far than any of the wings we currently have. I would trade Ak for Shane Battier though. And I count myself as a fan of AK. If we could move Marin to somebody else the trade itself is not bad but I don't think Martin here is a good thing.
