The OP suggested ignoring players feelings. I did, and can see some sense in his line up. Of course it won't happen but the idea has merit with the suggested caveat.
Taking out how the players feel, that's actually a good thought. We would have amazing balance. Don't be lazy and criticize the guy, it's a hypothetical situation in where the players feeling are not factored in. Dumbasses
... and then maybe DM could swing a surprise deal to bring Tyson Chandler, Steve Novak, and Landry Fields in to start alongside Lin... was that the idea?
