    I say we send K. Martin to Phoenix for Kendall Marshall and have an all rookie lineup!!!

    PG Marshall
    SG Lamb
    PF T. Jones
    SF R. White
    C D-Mo

    Although D-Mo isn't the bulky 7' needed for that position he could grow into it and be fast and dominate....those 5 playing together for a year could make an intereting starting 5 in year 2....jus sayin

    Although it was somewhat of a joke....I am pretty sure that lineup could smoke the 2011-2012 bobcats, they were HORRIBLE

    There is a team salary floor. We have to have someone to pay just to meet the minimum.

    I tell you what, if we ended up doing that and they were successful and grew together, we could be a lesser version of the Thunder

    Just think how fun it'd be to witness one of their eight wins.

    As stated before, there is a minimum salary floor that we have to meet. With so many rookies on the roster starting, we would have to throw money at scrub players just to meet the minimum. Also, this trade does not work anyway because of cap room. Phoenix does not have the cap to absorb Martin while trading just Marshall. Starting 5 rookies is a terrible idea anyways. As someone has stated before, if you want to tank, you do not have to be historically bad, but only one game worse than the others. Also, being historically bad doesn't mean you get the number one pick. Ask the Bobcats about that.

    Why do people still think you need a bulky guy to play your 5 in the NBA?

    I agree. Especially when you consider Scott Machado's many years in the league. Wait.....

    I was hoping we'd have an all PF starting 5 instead.

    btw, Terrence Jones would play SF. Royce White cannot guard the three, while Jones can. Just actual facts to a very limited fact based thread.

    Unnecessary intentional foul on the low post, rookie.

    You are suggesting that McHale commits career suicide.
