But - if Ross could get near Marion's level (which I think is possible considering that this is latter-stages-of-career Marion we're talking about, not Phoenix-matrix Marion)...
and if Lowry and DeRo could out-defence the Mavs' guards (basically assured)...
then the drop-off from Chadler's to Val's defence wouldn't hurt so much.
And then consider that on O, both Val and Ross would be massive upgrades over Chandler and Marion, Lowry would be a massive upgrade over Kidd-on-his-last-legs, DeRo would be anywhere from a slight to massive upgrade over Terry (although most probably not in crunch-time)...
so the drop-off from Dirk to Love wouldn't hurt so much.
