If Nellie misused him, the the coaching staff in Golden State must have misused him as well. As did the coaching staffs in Boston. There's a reason why Danny Fortson hasn't been successful with any team he's been with, and it's because he's a loser who can't do more than one thing well on the court and has a pretty sour attitude to boot. That combination never helps the team cause.
See my above paragraph. Fortson is a terrible offensive player who gets almost 100% of his points on putbacks. Ben Wallace is a better jump shooter.
I've never seen a player with the ability to use his feet to box out like Fortson has look so clueless on how to move his feet in the post on the offensive end and when defending another player. He's just not very good.
Like I said, if Fortson was taller, we'd be able to use him, just like any other team would be able to use him. As it is, we already have Swift, Cardinal and Outlaw...all of which are better than Fortson. Dallas tried using him as a center some of the time last year, and it didn't work out well. PFs can shoot right over him, so centers normally have no problem at all. His height is just one of his many limitations out on the court. Memphis wouldn't be able to use him at PF just because of our depth at the position, and he's proved he can't play center.
So why trade our starting PG for him?

I think a big portion of orster IE. swift and others are leaving for Damp. So you need a guy who can pull down the boards and enforce the paint while Posey and Miller score the points.
Furthermore, did you remmemberJwill last playoff series, I do. I was disappointed.
