The same way he did at PF - awful. He's way too light to play C beyond spot minutes - he has issues being pushed around by the heavier PFs like Griffin.

I know you'd love Waiters, versatile scorer that doesn't mind playing the 6th man, high motor, very athletic, defense isn't bad but would drastically improve playing with Tony Allen & others.
Think clearing cap space, we did this in the past, that 1st rounder that's oddly protected to favor the Cavs? we still have it. Speaking of that trade, I see Jon Leuer is doing well for you, since you got down this toughing up big white boys thing, we also have Tyler Zeller, who needs just that.
So, what would do it?

I wouldn't say Marc is untouchable, but I would say that the list of players we'd move him for is exceedingly small.

Have a couple of trades
Trade #1
Grizzlies trade N.Calathes and J. Franklin
TO
Magic for M. Harkless and 2015 second round draft pick via Bulls
For the Grizzlies: Harkless is a young and upcoming player in the league. He's a great athlete with a quick step. Can cut to the basket at will. Continues to improve on his offense versatility in terms of moves and jumper. Deceptive defender and decent rebounder. Can use a new environment with some veteran presence who can show him the ropes of progressing his skills for the long term.
For the Magic: Calathes returns to Florida where his collegiate career began. He would fill in at the backup PG position the Magic needs. Can pass the rock, solid defender, good pickpocket, can cut to the basket. Franklin goes to the Magic for defensive and depth purposes for the Magic.
Trade #2
Grizzlies trade T. Prince and Q. Pondexter
TO
Lakers for S. Nash
For the Grizzlies: This trade is for salary cap purposes as Nash's contract expires next summer. Nash is likely to be waived once the deal is done.
For the Lakers: The Lakers need to fill empty spots at SF. With Prince, he's an expiring contract. Like Nash, his contract will come off the books next summer. He will provide veteran experience and spot up duty in limited minutes. Q-Pon when healthy, can provide the team with some spot up shooting from the perimeter and is a decent defender and is sitting on a moderate contract that the Lakers can work with.

Austin Rivers & Ryan Anderson from the Pelicans
for
Tayshaun Prince and Courtney Lee
I found it very interesting since the incoming pieces would not hamper our 2015 cap space plans
and would improve the team greatly.
The only question is Ryan Anderson completely healed from the back injury and does he have the foot speed to play the SF position.
The shoot first combo guard in Austin Rivers is okay but would much rather have a sign and trade of Brian Roberts instead.
