    Good point. Tucker adds another player to the rotation though.

    As a fan of both Jiummy Neutron and Fairly OddParents, I enjoyed the 3 episodes they did with the two shows.

    if we are looking at bargain bin players then I'm of the mindset that you always choose the older more proven veteran. especially if he already played under dantoni. you never know when an old veteran will have it for one big game or even a whole series (like richard jefferson for the cavs)

    you pretty much always know a scrub like ennis will be a scrub

    if wade gets bought out and comes to houston, he will take vet min. we don't need to trade EG.

    Morey would be a fool to give up Trev, Ego, or possibly both in a Melo trade. You need both of them on the roster when going up against GS.

    I think PJ will have his hands full at the Forward positions, don't see him getting any minutes at the 2 spot.

    I don't envy morey right now. I genuinely think that's a hard decision. I lean towards what you are saying and I don't think he will but It's also hard to compete against Golden State without having 3 stars.

    At the bare minimum we know morey really really doesn't want to. He will explore every possible 3 team trade scenario with ryan to the bitter end before he does something like that

    I'd rather give minutes to Bobby Brown before inserting that bum Tyler Ennis into the game. Barbosa can still play and would be nice as a 4th guard. Ennis is G-League material.

    A bunch of stars past their prime playing limited minutes is just like playing in their prime. Wade can go all out playing 15-20min/game.

    You don't need to shoot the 3.

    I don't think anyone is talking about counting on rotation minutes... the last big won't even touch the floor unless injury in this hypothetical.

    Paul 35+ mpg
    Harden 35+ mpg
    Ariza 35+ mpg
    Melo 35+ Mpg
    Capela 30 mpg
    Gordon 30 mpg
    Nene 20-25 mpg
    Tucker 25-30 mpg

    Thats your rotation. Not really counting on minutes from anyone else.

    We were able to play Lou so much because Harden and Gordon played the 3 in lineups. Tucker will play the 3 and 4. Something has to give.

    definitely the playoff rotation. I'd think dantoni will give some scrubs some burn during the regular season.

    Why would we do that? Then we still have Anderson and add Melo. It makes no sense to have both Anderson and Melo.

    Yeah, hopefully he can manage to do a 3 team deal with Ryno. Losing Ariza without bringing in an adequate replacement would hurt the team. With Sweet Lou gone, Ego is our only reliable scorer in the 2nd unit. I don't think we can afford to lose either of them. Replacing Ryno with Melo is a step forward. Losing Ariza and Ego in order to add Melo would be like taking 1 step forward and then taking 1 step back.

    With CP3 on the team James no longer has to average 36 plus minutes a game. Additionally, he will still get some time at the SF spot. Having a deep team allows DAntoni to keep the players fresh going into the play-offs with out losing quality. There will be plenty of minutes for DWade to get 18 to 20 minutes a night.
