We would be better off saving the money for JR Smith.
I'm not kidding.

Why? Deng is in great shape. Some guys can play the minutes and give the effort that Deng does with ease.

It's honestly not even about just this loss.
It's about the fact that we have a 12th man making 1.4 million (purely because of his tenure) that "knows the fundamentals of Thibs' O/D" but can't move well enough to execute the offense/defense when we NEED HIM TO, and no longer has the set-shot that he entered the league in. In a league that has gone the route of the "arm's race" and stockpiling talent to make a run at the ship, the extra million you could have by having Luke Babbit as your 12th man means the difference in the depth you have at the 7th/8th/9th men.
I'm fully aware that Scal helps the "chemistry" of the team. But, to me, it's just not worth wasting a spot on the roster. Give the man a suit, tie, and clipboard. No one says he can't impact his team. But he's nothing more than a 1.5 million dollar assistant coach...and ESPECIALLY when we are missing a ton of front court depth, the worst case scenario comes to fruition when you have to watch him play extended minutes.
I understand he's a fan favorite, but jesus...are we going to be supporting the extended use of Scalabrine during this time of injury plague in a couple months when these "just one loss" games decides whether we get the Bucks or Celtics in the first round?
