There's a bit more to talent evaluation than "can play the 2 or 3". Guys
without a clear natural position can still be good. Not too long ago, you
could have said "Iverson has not shown he can play the 1 or 2 spots." You
have to work harder and be more specific to make this a convincing argument.

Wouldn't this just be trading the core of our terrible 9-win team for the
core of an even worse 3-win team? It won't get us under the cap either.
