Very interesting. Don't know how I woulda felt about this move, but definitely not terrible. Ariza shut down Jamal when he was on him, who knows what he coulda done for us. But also makes sense not to disrupt chemistry for a move that isn't a clear cut winner.

What do others think about the trade that wasn't?

Note: The original source for the RealGM article is David Aldridge's column. There's a little more innuendo in there. Interesting. - J.Raffo 5pm.
