Most logically the OP. They at least thought it was debatable enough to warrant a poll.

Dumars for sure could have gotten enough in return before the 2005 trade deadline to land us enough fire power off the bench to win again in 2005.

I don't read much into what we've seen of him so far, but he certainly hasn't played his way into more value than he had at 15 last year, and he's at least as many years away as whoever gets drafted at 15 this year, so there isn't really a timeline issue there either.
The proposed move is pointless though, unless Sekou simply doesn't fit in with Weaver's vision- which is hard to see given our relative lack of young assets- what is there not to fit into?

Its all butterfly effect type stuff.
If Detroit drafts Melo @ 2 that year, who knows how the team would have fared. There's a chance they might not have been as good as they were. With Melo in the lineup, they obviously wouldn't of had Tay's defense on the floor which would have been a huge loss with how the game was back then. Melo's mentality and style could have also had an adverse effect on the massive amount of chemistry that team had as well.
We'll never know, but I know I'm not unhappy with my memories of those 03-08 teams. Would have loved another 'ship though.

I don't blame Darko.... I BLAME OTIS THORPE! If he hadn't played well enough for us to get that trade.
shhhh, the one time we win the lottery we blow it. We all know who we got. I never looked at who we could have got if we would have just stayed lower... 8th or so?
nope 6th, Chris Kaman territory. Probably would have switch Darko with Zarko. PG heavy draft. Kyle Korver was a second rounder.
