When Carlisle lived with younger DFS they weren't a playoff team, or even a good one. I think he'd be doing the franchise a disservice forcing developmental minutes to a guy who wasn't ready to win next season.
But, like you, I think both players are intriguing. I'm ok with acquiring them and letting them work as long as it takes to earn a rotation spot, even if it takes a while, if the price is right. And, I won't cry and bitch if they don't play every night their first year.
The reason I take that deal without hesitation is because Jackson is already out of the rotation, probably never going back in, and I find it hard to believe they'd get anyone at 31 who could contribute any sooner than Frank. It's all upside, to me.

I tend to agree. Jackson is out of the rotation, and I don’t see pick 31 making an immediate impact. I always like taking a risk on former lottery picks too. I’m confident Rick and his staff can get the most out of players, and putting them into position to succeed.
