    I see White's value as diminished in that lineup. He isn't a shooter. He doesn't move without the ball. This lineup may make him be needed when these guys leave the floor.

    Honestly I don't think Morey is that out of line.

    Our STARTERS can probably run with 20+ starting lineups, and beat the crap out of 10-15 of the starting line ups in the NBA. There really are NOT that many teams that are good at defending the PnR -- which just happens to be Harden's and Lin's specialties. The other 10, not so much.

    Our Bench is the real weakness right now. Our starters dominated the Pistons defense. They earned 10 point leads, then dug us out of 10 point deficits twice.

    Sadly, as good as the starting lineup is, it still won't mean jack if the bench gives the game away. :(

    He is crazy. Once they put some bigs on us then he will shut up. I wish parsons would be more aggressive and stop shooting threes.

    I'm talking about parsons being used as a power forward.

    He did say a lot of teams. This won't work when Parsons can't defend the four well enough.

    Morey is delusional, Parsons at PF won't work against many teams, maybe a few..

    Keep an eye on Ryan Anderson if that's the case he is playing real good right now and gives Steve Novak a run for his money as the best shooter in the NBA...With the Hornets rebuilding and going young and now Gordon out for a while I can see Hornets getting a young player back where they can build on or a future 1st rd pick for Anderson...

    This team is really going to be something if Smith can develop into a reliable backup C.
