With Martin on board, that wouldn't really be a problem.
I really don't see JJB eating into Marion's and Butler's minutes as they are already fairly low at this point. It seems like paranoia speaking if you think he's going to cut into them even more just so he can get JJB on the court.

I agree with what you're saying in theory....but RC doesn't employ rational thought when it comes to JJB. Last year people kept harping "Oh, when Marion is healthy, JJB won't be closing games ahead of him." Yet he continued to. It's pointless speculation ATM. However, if the trade DOES go down, I'd be more than happy to make a wager with you that JJB plays over 10 mpg.
