Perhaps, but Wes Matthews is a better player than Afflalo. Why would you want to take minutes away from him? Batum is the one who's been struggling all season and I wouldn't want to play Afflalo at the 3.
Afflalo can play either or.

Afflalo played the 3 a lot in Orlando

I don't think you would take minutes. I think they need a good small ball lineup to match up with the OKCs and GSW of the world. Even Memphis has a small ball line up now.

Lillard, Matthews, Afflalo, Batum, Aldridge

It might be a line up they have to go to to mix things up in the playoffs

I'm not feeling the trade for Portland

Give away a 1st for a possible rental player, who won't even crack your crunch time lineup

Nahhh

That GQ interview got OKC panicking to make a move. I don't understand how Billy King still has a job after he traded a top 7 pick for Gerald Wallace :snoop:

Afflalo will get pounded playing the 3 out west and Batum would get pounded as a result at the 4. That is not gonna work.

Its just for match ups. They arent going to go to that all the time. They need that flexibility.
