I like getting Scola. Here's another trade that fills the giant hole at 6th man back-up wing: Marcus/Magloire/Wright to the Clips for Corey Maggette. Then keep Billy Thomas for the rest of the season and re-sign Eddie Gill. Starters: Kidd/Carter/Jefferson/Williams/Boone Bench: Maggette/Krstic/Armstrong/Collins/Nachbar/Allen That's a deep balanced team.

He's not a team guy at all.

Especially getting out of that situation in LA. He would get Wright's minutes, which were at 30 mpg, and get a lot of time in a small lineup. Would get a lot of open shots on this team.
It would have to be another talented wing imo. I can see Maggete wanting to start even though he isnt better than RJ.

He cares about Corey Maggette first, so that "deep into the playoffs" thing just wouldn't be as big a deal to him as it would seem to me or you. Not that he doesn't want to win, mind you. He just wants to be a starter. He doesn't see himself as any team's fourth wheel.

It's the type of move that could push them up to compete with Boston and Detroit (if the wind is blowing just right). Worst comes to worse he's an expiring $7mm contract next season that maybe able to get you something in return. I'm not overwhelmd that Marcus is the future, so I think there is little risk. Something needs to be done and I'm not convinced it's in the frontcourt. Sean, Boone and Krstic could be a pretty good big rotation. Throw in Twin for defense and Allen to hit a jumper and it's a decent rotation. We lack bench scoring (well other than last night).
