    With the rumors of Battier possibly being traded before deadline, who takes his spot in the starting five?

    Could it be Twill?
    Budinger?
    Kmart moving to the SF position and Lee playing SG?

    I dont see Budinger starting because of his liability on Defense.

    you could have waited for:

    1. to see if the trade goes down.
    2. wait till the next game, and find out, cus im sure no body can answer ur question.

    I would hope beyond hope that it is Terrence, but who knows?

    I chose Chase, tonight's performance would certainly help his cause.

    I'm being optimistic tho and hoping it's Iggy.

    Kevin Martin and Chase Budinger together? What's next? Remove Lowry and put back to Brooks?
    From bad to worse. I don't see the light at the end of the tunel :(

    I would need to know who we are acquiring in return in order to make that decision. Is it Iguodala? Wallace? LEBRON?

    A small forward that is better than all of our young guys could very well be coming back in trade.

    That said, I hope it's Chase. He's been awful this year and I want to improve our draft position.

    Why would you even think Twill would get the starting nod? Nobody goes from 0 minutes straight to starter.

    Sometimes a coach will insert a bench player that doesn't play at all into the starting line up so it doesn't mess up the rotation. Carlisle in Dallas did this with Stevenson. Stevenson will play 8 minutes as a starter and won't sniff the floor until the next game.

    Coach will NEVER start TWill. Budinger will get the start, unless Morey can somehow dump Brooks, Bud and Battier at the deadline in the same deal.

    I voted for Twill just to fuel the flames of all the "Play Twill" people, lol.

    Realistically, Chase would start though.

    It will be Bud if Adelman is still coaching the team.

    I think Budinger will start and T-Will finally gets some minutes but has to prove himself first. No way they let him jump right into a starting role.

    I think Wallace too... Or Granger maybe! ;)

    Anyway if we are not getting anyone and we have to choose between this option I think it will be Kevin at SF and Lee at SG!
