    here is mine:
    C: C.Aldrich
    PF: P.Patterson
    SF: M.Morris
    SG: J.Harden
    PG: J.Lin

    why Aldrich, he seems much more of a natural fit for the offense, does well in pick n roll aswellas a good finisher. Seems solid on the defensive end as well. Asik would be great off the bench.

    why Patterson, cause i know nothing will change here. i personally feel TJones a better fit, notto mention ppat all of sudden think he Dirk or something. Not a big fan of his game at the moment.

    why Morris, look at his effort n hustle compared to parsons...hell even scoring ability Ann's defense as well....Parsons is bench material....slow, not aggressive , lacks confidence andonlyseems to be worried about flicking his lil fruity hair doo.

    why Harden.....really.

    why Lin, another really considering he our only good/decent pg.

    also my main bench rotation would be:
    Asik
    Delfino
    Parsons
    G.Smith/T.Jones
    Machado

    Jeremy Lin
    James Harden
    Chandler Parsons
    Dmo
    Omer Asik.

    Asik needs to play alongside a great offensive post player and thats what Dmo is. Then come off the bench with pat and tjones.

    Lin
    Harden
    Parsons
    Patterson
    Asik

    Bench:
    Machado
    Jones
    Delfino
    Smith/Aldrich

    Never been a fan of Morris... And I know that Douglas' defense is way superior than Machado's at this point and that's what keeping him on the court, but hey, a man can dream.

    Asik

    Heres how i would mix up the rotation though

    PG: Royce White- I just wanna know what hes got. If he needs the ball in his hand to do so then lets experiment. If he fails then put Machado in but im just dying to know what this guy can do. Waive douglas altogether

    SG: Delfino- only option there

    SF: Terrence Jones- doesnt make sense why this isnt the case now

    PF: DMo- once again preseason was just a taste lets see what we got with a real game

    C: Aldrich/smith - like both and think either one could snag this spot

    On a serious note, I don't mind the starting 5 the way it is. I would change the rotation a bit, but what do I know?

    My lineup as well. Smith looked so good in preseason. Hope he starts against Grizzlies.

    1. Lin
    2. Harden
    3. Morris
    4. T. Jones
    5. Asik

    Parsons and Asik in starting lineup together is hurting the Rox right now because both are just not consistent/gifted on offense. Teams can help off of both of them out there and its bogging down the offense. Although I'm still not as convinced about Morris, he looks like with playing time, he can possibly be more reliable on offensive end. Terrence Jones I believe is the future PF of this team and should be playing instead of rotting on the bench. PPat has been doing better than last season so far but Jones is better athlete and will prove to be better player in long run. Dmo, White, etc. look like they need to be sent to d-league to develop some more. Just my 2 cents.

    really this thread should be just about the 3 and 4 positions + backup PG. The other slots are set

    I think Morris is terrible. I hope they're showcasing him for a deal. Fine with Parsons...once Morris is dealt, I'd imagine that's when Jones and/or Royce get some time at the 3

    Similarly, I hope DMo gets time at the 4 at that point. I think it's just a matter of a trade to come...at least I hope

    Asik
    TJones
    Parsons
    Harden
    Lin

    DMo is a close 2nd at PF.. In the words of Gary Kubiak, Id let those Jones and Donuts ''battle it out''
