I don't really care...I just felt like changing things up.
If I have to say anything, it probably helps the Jazz out since they don't really have a true number one option and Laettner is a playmaker.

Rider was just to 1 dimensional. If i moved him to SG he played with B- defense and has D+ handles. Should be good with Jkidd though.

I was never a big fan of Rider. I like it for the Jazz.

Mehh it took me a while to realize the reason i was losing is because he was averaging only 2 assists per game less than 1 steal per game and almost 3 TO's.

i was always pissed off by the fact that Rider can not play SG as well as SF. And at SF he still can get beaseted sicne hes only 6-5.

Lakers needed a more uptempo offensive player to help JKidd and company.
But where does this leave Mercer?
I like it for both Squads. Cause Xian is certainly a SF who pretends to play any other position. And if your team is set up to run slow than you are screwed with him.
Actually they are both SFs so this rings true for each player, but I think the players are going to teams where they might be more effective with the players around them.
