check out the comparative career stats:

Delk 40.7 34.0 77.1 9.2 1.9 .8 1.8
Lindsay 39.0 36.6 74.3 9.4 2.9 1.3 2.1

I'm kind of surprised to see people so eager to make pick-ups at this point.

I really feel we have that right combination to get us through right now.
You can't compare their Career numbers, Lindsey hasn't done ANYTHING recently. Let's compare their previous 3 seasons (not counting this year, because neither have played much)...

Lindsey - 4.9ppg (35.1% FG, 29% 3FG)
Tony Delk - 9.73ppg (41.1% FG, 37% 3FG)

And checkout the career playoff stats:
Lindsey- 99 games, 4ppg (30% FG, 23.9% 3FG)
Delk - 37 games, 9.7ppg (43% FG, 42.7% 3FG)

That doesn't even take into account that Lindsey is on a bum ankle this year. It's obvious that Tony has much more left in the tank. He's like a younger version of Lindsey.
