Like we did with Tony Battie.

I'd love to see a Fortson for Donyell Marshall swap.  He's a 3/4, depending,
and has had some monster games. His UConn connection could provide him with
some warm fuzzy support, which would help him combat his usual shyness.  We'd
give him a green light (well, I guess the point is - would Pitino?) to go all
out.  The guy can score and rebound, and was made expendable by Antawn
Jamison.  If he's part of a team rather than the go to guy, the pressure isn't
quite as intense, and I would expect him to do quite well here.  He could
easily contribute more than Fortson was allowed to.
