if rox can trigger a trade, they need to re-shuffle rotation, how about the much-maligned Mobley as the sixth man? CATO at PF Griffin at SF and Posey or RICE at SG. Then you have Mobes, Taylorr off the bench....
You want to move Mobley to the bench for HAWKINS, I have a better idea: Maddox/Norris/Francis Hawkins/Posey/Mobley Nachbar/Rice Morris/Griffin/Taylor Collier/Cato/Ming This should take us right to the top of the standings.
starting 5 and minutes play francis - 40 mobley - 35 posey - 30 morris - 15 yao - 35 6th man - taylor - 20
how about a starting lineup of francis, posey, rice, griffin and ming secondary would be moochie, mobley, tmo (nachbar aint ready-sorry), taylor and cato that would provide a good balance b/t scoring for both units. we could have two proven scorers in each lineup rather than 3 starters who need alot of shots. francis and ming in the starting lineup would get priority with shots and mobley and taylor could come off the bench and fire away. the problem is that i dont think cat would ever want to come off the bench again.
