    What the hell is Keith Jones doing?! A third of the team is already hurt?!

    On a more serious note, with all love & respect to Cod, I won't be sad to see Nene go (if he's traded in a Butler deal). This is just preseason, he doesn't really need it but this will be a common occurrence this season. Nene out due to this, Nene out due to that, Nene out due to old age/rest. I'm sure he's a great locker room guy and his teammates love him but if you're good for one game a week, I'm out. I'm good. I can do without you.

    Smart to sit PJ so we can start Melo without a media circus.

    This allows Melo to play with Paul more, so we can sit Paul early. We don't want Rubio play Paul much at all, but we need Melo to play with him as much as possible.

    Thus, fake a PJ injury and start Melo without fanfare.

    Silly reports. Wish they could say...
    Tucker: Out due to being contagiously injury prone.
    Nene: Out for preseason reasons.

    Paul will play the least in that 20-30 minute range. Thus, sit PJ and start Melo to match as much of Paul's minutes as possible...they need the practice together.

    Tuck out with "Back soreness" and Nene out as well?

    Really hope that doesn't indicate a trade involving PJ.
