Yeah, it was just a response to D21 about how trading Z would be like trading Bibby - the overall impact of Jamison is far greater.
I did not say they would not be better, or did not wanted to say, but I just compare Z's role in CLE to what Bibby does here.
Losing both would be a big loss, not a loss in a sense it would be hard to upgrade the team, but in a chemistry point of view. There know how to make the other players better when they are on court, and they do, and even if Jamison can upgrade CLE, it's kind of a gamble, because Jamison looks more like a players that need the ball than Bibby and Z.
DAL tried it when they trade for Jamison, and they were not better with him (it was their worst season between 2000 and 2007).
He can be hard to matchup, especially for ATL, but I am not sure it would improve CLE as much as you think. Maybe it would be different next year, but this season, I am not sure.
