First of all, you don't know how much he will be asking for, so you can't say he'll come cheap.
Low Risk? They guy has a kidney disorder, how much higher of a risk can you have.

A big mistake that I saw was the fact that R2D2 was with Luke when he first went to see Yoda. When Luke meets Yoda, he doesn't know who he is even though R2D2 is there. R2D2 actually zaps Yoda not knowing who he was. However R2D2 didn't have his mind wiped like C3P0 so he should have...
Ratliff makes way too much and he's not that good of a rebounder, plus he's the same size as Amare. All he can do is shot block. I wouldn't trade Q for Derek Anderson, Q is way more dangerous as a 3 points shooter and has much more offensive potential.
Sorry I don't buy that. Marbury was our best player on the team, but we didn't have Amare like we have him now and he had to deal with that dead weight Hardaway and Gugliotta. Still he wasn't a very good coach.
