Strange trade for Sacramento. I thought Tyreke Evans was logging all his minutes at the two these days. Where is Marcus Thornton going to play? Is Tyreke heading back to the point? Or will he be matched up against small forwards now?

Tyreke's left foot is a fairly serious issue. Thornton at least makes the worst case scenario - Evans is shut down for the rest of an already in the tank season - more palatable?

Westphal's less stringent defensive standards should certainly mean more minutes.

I like the idea of Tyreke and M.Thornton starting alongside one another in the backcourt. That would form a very explosive scoring backcourt. Tough to handle.

Tyreke + Thornton + Casspi + D.Greene + Dalembert

I think that is Sacramento's strongest lineup.

Strange that this deal has not gone through yet.

A question of physicals, or perhaps a third team getting involved?
