No way can Luke defend against Marion. He's not quick enough and can't out jump Marion. Evans is too, short to defend Marion, he'll probably have the task of defending Barbosa.
I was looking Cavaliers, and Drew Gooden its an excelent PF who can play well at Center, and his salary is just 6 millions. If we send Cook and Mihm, we match it, and we get Gooden

I highly doubt the Cavs accept that offer for Gooden, especially seeing that they just extended him this off-season

(or are you assuming Odom's greater wingspan would make up for any lack of speed) Which allows Odom to cover Diaw who is roughly the same size and Diaw probably wouldn't have any noticeable mismatch against Odom.

I'm sure the Lakers would go with the same matchup if they play Phoenix again, but this time they have to worry about Amare being available.
