definitely? Currious quote.

Unless PPat greatly improves from last season there would be no way I would start him over DMo.... unless DMo just shows up and forgets how to play.

Lin, Douglas, Ish Smith
Martin, Lamb
Parsons, Morris
Patterson, D-mo, Jones, White
Asik

Versatile athletic team with upside

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then keep Moore, or go get a real PG (trade for Alexey Shved or sign Marcelinho Huertas).

Machado is not ready to be the 2nd PG at the NBA level. Ish Smith is much better than Machado at this point. And Ish is a borderline backup.

As long as it is not Douglas. Trust me. Ask any fan who watched the Knick/celtics series last year. Douglas is trash.

I hope you are right.

Is there nobody that thinks that Machado cannot be a decent back up pg? He looks like an NBA player to me.

I was thinking the same thing.. he's gotta be as good if not better than douglas..

He is definitely better than douglas trust me. Tony D is trash. Can't run an offense and is to undersized to be a SG. Machado is definitely better than him.

12 Man Roster

Point Guard
Jeremy Lin
Scott Machado

Shooting Guard
Kevin Martin
Jeremy Lamb
Shaun Livingston

Small Forward
Chandler Parsons
Royce White

Power Forward
Patrick Patterson
Terrence Jones

Center
Omer Asik
Donatas Motiejunas
Josh Harrelson

15 Man Roster

Toney Douglas PG
Zoran Dragic SG
Marcus Morris SF

This is my predicted roster as of 7/23/2012. And I am not adjusting for potential trades.

[Arthurprescott2]

BTW, Harrelson was waived.

[Mariachi ROCKET]

^ This I agree with

Ish Smith, especially with a young fastbreaking team, is a lot better than both Douglas and Machado. If we get Dwight though, Douglas with his shooting would be a better backup. (I see some Aaron Brooks in him) Machado probably isn't going to even sniff the court this year in either scenario.

Man. Some of y'all are in for a rude awakening. And you must be calling Brooks trash because that is precisely what Douglas is. Can't run an offense whatsoever. TD isn't a guard in this league. He is a nice guy but he doesn't belong in the NBA.

[Depressio]

Jeremy Lin
Kevin Martin
Chandler Parsons
Donatas Montiejunas
Omer Asik

[Prince]

Asik
Mo
Parson
Lamb
Lin

[jtr]

OK just for grins:

Lin/Machado
Lamb/Richardson
Parsons/White
Josh Smith/D-Mo
Howard/Asik

Why not? Morey is on a roll.

Steve Francis, Kenny Smith, Sam Cassel
Mc Grady, Maxwell
Drexler, Elie,
Horry, Barkley, Scola
Dream, Ming. 12 man roster

For 15 add
Battier, Sampson, and jeremy lin for marketing purposes

I disagree on this point. Aside from his poor shot selection and lack of jumper, I think Ish showed he could play point at the NBA level two seasons ago when he had to start for our team. He'll be a decent, if not good, backup point guard, though I doubt he'll ever be anything more than that.
