    Eddy taveres could play.

    Cleoanthony early got shot in Queens but can still ball!

    Gary Clark never had a fair crack at it!

    Joakim Noah can go too!

    Could not agree more. Would make your post a banner if I could!

    Would swap Dion Waiters for Clemons too. MDA would play him much more, especially with EGo always nicked up or when his shot disappears.

    Waiters is instant offense off the bench and much better playmaker and ball handler than EGo.

    They’d all likely be upgrades to some of the scrubs sitting on the Rockets bench

    Word is Harkless might get bought out, he and Taj Gibson would be a good haul.

    Tucker/Gibson
    Covington/Ben
    Harkless/Gordan
    Harden/House
    Westbrook/ Rivers

    Covington and Harkless would be sweet

    I do like the idea of Bender as a stash. And he can't choose Milwaukee over us, because he was cut by them!

    I don't hate this (not that it will happen), but we can swap out guys 6-10 all we want and it won't pan out if guys 1-6 can't figure out some kind of consistency in effort level.

    Harkless, MKG, Waiters, Biyombo and Bolden are young vet energy players and more playable than either Tyson and Thabo.

    And just more skilled defenders, experienced and better fits than Harty and Clemons.

    Bring on Waiters to replace Gordon.

    *Forgot to include House.

    This is a lineup that adds more offense, defense, energy, ball handling, length, athleticism and YOUTH.

    This lineup can provide a 10-12 man rotation easily without missing a beat. Even when Russ sits on B2B games.

    This a lineup for the present AND the future.
