I think that Al Harrington would do very well in a D'Antoni system of shooting so many threes and playing undersized bigs. But they definitely downgraded in talent for the pure purpose of being able to land 2-3 major free agents in 2010. Everyone is trying to do that, including some teams that have no business doing so. Golden State knows it isn't going to get in the LeBron sweepstakes no matter what it offers, NY can equal it. I think it's inevitable that LeBron bolts to NY...there have just been too many hints between the baseball cap, the various NY themed shoes, and his desire to become a global icon and have the spotlight on him. Besides, he'll have the opportunity to play with an all-star friend in Bosh, Wade (or both!). LBJ is the perfect person to play for D'Antoni as well because of his unique size and skillset.
... anyways.
