Ultimately, Stevenson and Marion would still be the defensive swingmen on this roster. That does not change.

I do see quite a lot of duplication in talent between JET/Martin.

At the same time, you could say the same thing about Roddy and JET.

Yes but Roddy+JET+Haywood

or JET+Martin

Do you see it?

Do I see what? I was always bad at riddles.

True. I think the difference there is one is future-thinking - as in potential franchise player, if you believe Dirk's prognosis.

I'm still talking myself into not needing Haywood as a backup and if his attitude is garbage, it's easier, but I am a little wary of going up against a frontline as big as the Lakers with an army of swingmen.

In the end, I also find it hard to believe Houston trades away its best player for an older player with diva qualities who has been a part-time (ok, 65%) starter for most his career - even if said player plays a harder to fill position. It smells like Fish's rumormongering..
