What this trade means is that AJ now has at least the 4th big man spot and will get regular minutes going forward.
That may have seemed obvious but it was not written down. Now unless we acquire another big who Joe D. thinks is better than AJ, AJ's progress will continue to move ahead at full steam including getting serious burn during the playoffs.
Great news as it now stands.  |
Primoz was already a non-factor with regards to Amir. He hadn't played rotation minutes in 12-15 games are so. Dixon comes in, and he will only tempt Flip yet again to play the veteran (Dixon), over the rookie (Stuckey or AA) regardless of how terrible he is. Flip had no problem giving Nazr and Primoz chance after chance to fail, before AJ was even given a second look.
This was a case of subtraction by addition.
