that is what I meant. If McGrady went out most of the time we went with Luther Head. Green gives us the size to match up with the bigger gaurds and the athleticism to stay with quicker SF in the league.

Hayes makes the most sense as the one to go. If you were picking between Hayes and Dorsey, Dorsey wins hands down. Hayes does have a decent little jump hook, he just couldn't make lay-ups. I hate to even think about his free throws. I've always looked at it this way. A guy who shoots free throws that poorly, and who is that limited offensively should not be able to stick on an NBA team...much less get an extension. Hayes did, and that just tells you how good he is defensively. I would still take Dorsey without a second thought if it was just a straight comparison.

The difference may turn out to be whould you rather have:

Scola, Landry, and Dorsey or

Scola, Dorsey, Hayes, and whatever we could get for Landry and one of those spare guards you mentioned.

You don't really need two back-ups at the same position who fill the same role. Hayes doesn't have much trade value. Landry as part of a bigger package might get someone who could help right away.

I'm not necessarily advocating this. I love Landry. He might have become my favorite player last year. I just see some logic to a move like this. Of course Morey might not be done, and Dorsey could be part of another trade before this weeks over. Really, I'm just pointing out options.
