    Guys like Dragic and Lee could start on some lower tier teams like the Bobcats or Hornets.

    It is good but Dragic/Lee imo are better than any of them.

    I think OKC is the best though. I'd take Harden, Collison and 3 who cares players for sure.

    Lol if the Thunder offered the Rockets Harden for our entire 2nd unit, we would jump on it right away.
    So would Chicago, Denver and almost every team in the league

    Philly has the best 2nd unit easily.

    Right now I think our starters should be Dragic, Lee, Parsons, Dally, and Scola. They've been sensational while Lowry and Martin have been out.

    If any of those guys start to struggle, just substitute in ... Lowry/Martin/Budinger/Camby/Patterson.

    These guys are so close in talent at every position, we've essentially got 10 starters. It's no wonder McHale just goes with the hot hands.

    I don't think they should change a thing with our current starters unless somebody starts struggling. Right now, they're all playing great with the exception of Dally coming and going. He's the one that would be the most easily replaced.

    Luby's chicken fried steaks are huuuuge.

    I love to take all 12 inches of it inside me!

    Exactly, it definitely helps. Sadly, the starting unit is only slightly better than the second unit.

    The best second unit we have had was with Landry, Lowry and Deke.

    Gift & curse. We might get out done by other teams starters, but our bench wont usually relinquish a lead if we have one or get us going offensively. Well balanced & you don't lose anything when adjusting to game flow. The gift is our bench has depth, the curse, well you know the curse.

    For fun, our third unit:

    Fisher
    T-Will
    Budinger (I know he's a semi-rotation player with the bench, so sue me)
    Marcus Morris
    Greg Smith

    That's as good as some team's second units...

    I think Williams is getting the back up point minutes for the time being....Fisher will be bought out by Saturday IMO
