i would play him 20 mins as frye's BACKUP and that's it (in place of AD).
forget trade value - he makes $9+ mil for the next two years.
at the end of the day, his trade value is as an expiring $9 mil deal next year.
you start frye at PF. and you bring mo in with the 2nd unit. AD is odd man out or backup C with james on inactive.
there should be NO WAY mo gets minutes over frye now.
BUT if you want him to play one game, then do it vs. portland as they have the weaker defending frontcourt. gs, sac, utah, lakers, and denver are all pretty big down low.

i look at it this way--there are two frontcourt positions that =96 minutes. right now eddie curry takes up about 24 and everything else is open. if we gave curry 24 frye 27 taylor 27 and Lee 17, that fills the bill.
I agree that those are good minutes to give to those players, however, I still think Antonio will get his 20 mpg, just b/c Larry loves the guy, and eventually, Curry will be getting more and more minutes. I really hope that, that Larry sees that giving AD so much time is hindering this team. He's just not that good anymore, and his defense his defense and rebounding is overrated.
