Much better than the similar trade from early today. I'd do this one.

jaric for cardinal is a wash and walker won't be here in the long term plans so it's basically green for milicic? yep sign me in

Heres my reasoning for this trade. Both of these teams are rebuilding, so it is harder to work with. First, Memphis' reasoning:

While both of these teams are rebuilding, Memphis is farther along in theirs and might want more productive veterans. The contracts of Walker/Jaric and Milicic/Cardinal are pretty similar. However, I think they would maybe rather have the production upgrade.

As for Minnesota, I think Milicic would be a good fit that allows Jefferson to play his more natural PF position. We also acquire a guy in Cardinal who wouldn't take many minutes away from the youngsters. Jacobsen is a downgrade in talent from Green necessary for Memphis to make the deal.

Overall, I think its a pretty even deal. I think Memphis would be a little more hesitant, but would do it anyways.

Memphis trades a big and doesn't get one back, problem.

Antoine Walker is big.

A little too big.

Grizz have no interest in moving Darko at this point. The threshold issue (that the Grizz trade a bigman and don't get one back) is obviously there - but the problem is compounded when you realize that Darko is the only interior defensive presence the Grizz have.
