    Westbrook
    Harden
    KJ
    Anderson
    Capela

    Bench is whoever is left after trade.

    A man can dream.

    Beverly/Harden/Gordon/Anderson/Capela

    I'm assuming we'll find a PG though. Bev doesn't make sense as a starter for MDA.

    MDA will have to stagger Gordon/Harden/Anderson minutes so that the 3 of them are never on the court together, and preferably Harden/Gordon are rarely on the floor together (maybe 5-8 minutes a game).

    I dunno guys. I am confident that we improved. We needed defense and shooting badly last year, and at least got better shooting. We have line-up flexibility, and should be light years better at PNR offense than we were last year with Dwight.

    If healthy and on the roster, D-Mo would get minutes before Beasley and possibly before Nene too. "If healthy" seems to be a theme this season.

    Going to take 10-12 games for the team to learn the system and the coaching staff to see who fits where. Lineups don't even matter right now

    This is how I see it as well. Nene will not be expected to play every night IMO. He's there in case Capela flames out again this year or if DMo's back doesn't continue to improve. DMo probably gets 15+ minutes a night at center if not more.

    Are we 2-3 depth deep at every positions, like last year?

    I certainly agree we will start Bev Harden Ariza Anderson Capela. But I do feel DMo could really grow in D'Antoni's system leading to some very interesting lineups.

    Assuming we keep him. Please God let us keep him!

    We definitely do not want Harden chasing around point guards on defense
