    Just here at work thinking about basketball and soccer, thinking about some lineups. My starters would be, James, Pat, Howard, Ariza, and Terrence. As For the other "Role players" I would choose Troy, Robert, Dorsey, Nick, And D-mo.

    What are y'all's choice, or predicted lineup?

    PG: Beverley - Ish Smith - Canaan
    SG: Harden - Daniels - Johnson - Hopson
    SF: Ariza - Gee
    PF: Jones - DMO - Adrien - Josh Powell
    C: Howard - Dorsey - Capela

    Ish Smith and DMO are needed to keep the ball from getting sticky.

    Looking at the lineup, the Adrien and Dorsey signings do make some sense assuming they are serviceable backups. You should be able to play Adrien or Dorsey with Motiejunas effectively since both can play the 4/5 on the defensive end.

    Adrien will start over TJones.

    He's just a better, more polished player.

    And that's exactly what he looked like during the summer league. I don't see Covington getting minutes

    I dont like our depth at the 3, I see Ariza playing big minutes, with Harden being our primary backup 3. Open up more minutes for Daniels or Johnson playing at the 2.

    I would like to see Sessions here too but this team already has too many PGs who really can't play the 2 spot (Beverly, Canaan, and Smith). If you're doing a wish list, I'll replace Garcia with Allen and Oneal with Dmo.
