If we did acquire Martin, Marion should definitely start. I think Marion should start now, honestly. Though it's not as big an issue with the way Caron has been playing as of late. Even if we get Martin, I find it highly unlikely that RC starts Marion over Butler.

I know it's fun to hate on Carlisle for playing JJB, but whose minutes do you think JJB is going to eat into? We've already got a logjam at SF, and I'm darn near positive that he's not going to take Kidd's or Terry's minutes below 30 minutes a game. So if you trade for Martin, I'm not sure who JJB will be taking minutes from. If you give Martin, Kidd, and Terry roughly 30 minutes a piece at the two guard spots, that leaves maybe 6 minutes max for JJB. That's not really a rotation player.
