So in this scenario, we send the much maligned Brian Scalabrine, oft injured Tony Allen and super undersized guy Leon Powe for Darko and Q Ross. The only one I will miss is Scal.
Q Ross picks up Tony Allens defensive role with no drop off and can actually guard an NBA SF without giving up 3-6 inches. Darko is a big underachiever that we attempt to revive under Clifford Ray. He is also a nice expiring contract next season.
Our rotation is shortened a bit and we now play Pruitt, Davis and House followed by Ross and Bill Walker. Ideally, Darko gets fired up by KG, Doc et al and wants to contribute on a winner.
I would offer Davis in place of Powe but I doubt they do it. Really not much of a talent drop off is it?
The biggest bonus perhaps is the extra roster spot we earn for Marbury or a big when one is bought out.
