    This, except I'd replace Flynn with Lin, and Thabeet with Chuck.

    I dunno but this team is freakin deep. Hard to see a trade not happening, but I think this team is built for a 66 game shortened season.

    You have the ability to give guys nights off and like the Texans, if you have major injuries, next man up. If the players buy in collectively, the stacked lineup could work. If egos come into play, which is more likely, then it becomes an issue. I see the rotation being something like this-

    Lowry(30), Dragic(15), Flynn
    Martin(25), Lee(10)
    Budinger(20), T-Will(20), Morris*, Parsons*
    Scola(25), Patterson(20), Adrien*
    Hill(20), Dalembert(15), Thabeet

    -() - Min played
    -*- Will rotated in and out of D-League barring injury

    Flynn and Thabeet have guaranteed contracts. Lin and Chuck do not. Flynn and Thabeet will get minutes with injuries and nights off for rotation players.

    the Supersized lineup :eek::

    C: Thabeet
    PF: Hill
    SF: Morris
    SG: Williams
    PG: Lin

    Not very quick, but has size in spades.

    i think lin gets cut. my reasoning behind this is how easy it is to find a good pg in this league. lin isnt anything special to me. hes just another good pg. not to mention how easier it is to cut off his contract compared to flynn's

    PG Lowry - Dragic - Flynn
    SG Martin - Lee -
    SF Budinger - TWill - Morris - Parsons
    PF Scola - Patterson - Adrien
    C Dalembert - Hill - Thabeet

    I have Adrien on roster because of contract.

    I think Parson and G Smith should be sent over seas to develope

    I want to keep Lin but doesnt seem to have place with to many PGs

    Its down to Smith and Lin.

    Lowry/Dragic/Flynn
    Martin/Lee/
    Bud/T-Will/Morris/Parsons
    Scola/Pat/Adrien
    Sam/Hill/Thabeet

    I think Lin gets in.

    That would be 16, I wonder if Chandler Parsons might get cut.

    I really doubt Parsons gets cut.. He has some good size. It was his first game yesterday and you could tell he had butterflies in his system. He was so hesitant on shooting. McHale needs to give him the green lighting on shooting.

    I think you have to cut Lin. Goran Is too talented and Morey likes him to much for him to not get the lions share of backup point minutes.

    Flynn needs to get playing time to either, "A" show that he can run the team better then Goran or "B" Showcase him for a trade.

    Then you have Terrance, Lee, and Chase fighting for minutes at the 2/3 spot.


    There is no room at the Inn in our 1\2\3 positions

    The rotation I'd like:

    [Starters]
    Dalembert
    Scola
    Williams
    Martin
    Lowry

    [Bench/Rotation]
    Lee
    Patterson
    Dragic
    Budinger
    Hill

    [Little/No PT]
    Flynn
    Morris
    Thabeet

    But I think this is what's more likely:

    [Starters]
    Dalembert
    Scola
    Budinger
    Martin
    Lowry

    [Bench/Rotation]
    Lee
    Patterson
    Hill
    Flynn

    [Little/No PT]
    Williams
    Dragic
    Morris
    Thabeet

    Because the compressed schedule, we might end up with 2 alternating starting lineups to rest our players.

    Alternating starters every other game, starters of previous game will become the bench with limited minutes to rest them for next game.

    Lowry
    Martin
    TWill
    Scola
    Dalembert

    Dragic
    Lee
    Budinger
    Patterson
    Hill

    I do no want Budinger with Martin/Scola, can't have 3 bad defenders in a lineup, thus insert TWill.
