Also Pruitt is a better player than TA my opinion but with more play I think everyone else would see it as well. Scal, WHO CARES! People were ready to let this guy go now he is a major part of the team HAHAHAHAHA! Powe is the only loss but we get Darko who is as good if not better.
So in the playoffs, who do you propose guards Joe Johnson, Dwyane Wade, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, etc. off the bench to give Paul/Ray a breather or if they are in foul trouble? Pruitt has no chance against these guys. Neither does House, or would Marbury or anybody else we have (don't know about GIddens but him not playing so far isn't a good sign of him contributing this year). TA may be overrated with his defense, but at worst he is still our 2nd best perimeter defender behind Pierce. Yeah we did well with TA out, but Ray/Pierce had to also log in a lot of minutes during that stretch because there's was no suitable wing defender off the bench unless it was a small 2 (Pruitt) or a slow 3 (Scal). It's like saying that we are undefeated with Scal starting at center so he should start over Perk and then our backup center problems are solved! Just because we played well without TA doesn't mean that we won't need him (or another good perimeter defender) come playoff time.
Fair enough, but I still do the deal maybe we could get Ross in the deal.
