I gotta resurrect this after reading Sam Amicks article about Ja which said that according to team source Minnesota is "monitoring" the Ja situation. In itself, its a nothingburger news that doesnt have any implications.... but as a theoretical debate it sounds fun.
Would people here want Ja to go to Minny or not?
I think that could result in Minny being better during the "honeymoon period", but I bet that honeymoon wouldn't last long. While Ja and Ant probably mesh well in terms of playstyle, I dont think they mesh well as personalities. Its much more likely that Ja would have a negative influence on Ant, than other way around, and I dont think either guy wants to play the 2nd fiddle. Ja is also definitely not a child at heart like Ant seems to be, but more like stuck on the "troubled teenager" phase of our lives.
Even worse for Minny would be if the gave up Conley as a salary ballast in that trade (which makes sense since Ja would be taking his job anyways), then who would be the adult in the room there?
