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

[Basti]

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

[Klomp]

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.

[deeney0]

Antoine Walker is big.

[shrink]

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.
