Decent trade for hornets but for grizzlies you are now a Shooting guard short

Hairston can play SG.

Memphis has about 500 SG right now, so not too worried, at worst it gives the young Jordan Adams a chance to play

I think this is a bad trade. Lee would take minutes from Lin, Kemba, Batum.

Homie gets traded every other year.

Lin and Kemba are PGs, and Batum is a SF?

In any case, you need 4 solid wings minimum, and extra shooting never hurts.

But many times, we see a Lin Kemba lineup and it wasn't bad. I'm just afraid of chemistry issues when there is now an extra guard in the backcourt. Batum sometimes plays SG. Kemba is a relatively small wing, but I guess you're right if they want to move closer to a small ball lineup.
