Only watched the 1st quarter and the last part of the 4th.  I was shocked to see Luigi in the game and surprised that he had been shooting the ball quite well.  He did get burned on defense.... so maybe it was a wash?
 
I realize it's only one game, but could Datome be another trade fodder find?  Or, is his defense that bad?

We should trade Datome's pony tail and Olynyk's whatever that is for a Chris Mullin flat top.

Datome is an OK player but not for the NBA.  First, as you say, his D is weak. Second, he is OK in many aspects of his offensive game but he excels in none, he has no 'killer move'. Even in Europe, he was never a great scorer. Third, he is already 27 yo so he can hardly be classified as a talent. Last, he lacks explosiveness and physical strength, which makes it very hard for him to compete against other forwards in the NBA. 
Since he is an expiring contract he can hardly be used in trade.
