What I wouldn’t like about this trade is we’d be giving up two players (PJ + EG) for one (Jimmy). That’s the only certainty there is in that situation. There is obviously good chances for other players to step up, for Jimmy to make the difference, for a lot of positives to happen; but there is also uncertainty for us to be completely healthy come playoff time or when we face the Warriors. Hence giving up 2 players we certainly lean on for 1 player even if he is better than the other 2 makes me very hesitant.
I am glad they drew the line where they did unless they are getting back additional talent comparable to PJ. Count me among those who are unwilling to package PJ with EG for Butler alone.
I would be happy just to be a third team picking up quality depth as I think Codman indicated. Tyus Jones or Taj Gibson anyone?
