I think Pitino would do this in a heartbeat. I like it, too.  We give up a 
rebounding stud, but if we're going to be pressing this year, Fortson will 
simply not fit in anyway.  In return we get one of Pitino's all time 
favorites, who knows the headless-rabid-chicken-soup defense as well as 
anyone and can score as well.  I suppose the cap filler would have to be not 
too bad a contract, say Dana (1 year left) instead of Eric.  Then Pitino 
could go get Mark Jackson and he'd have veterans in the locker room who 
support him completely.
