    By play off time I would love to see-

    Yao, TMac, Scola, Brooks, Battier

    With Francis, James, Hayes, Butler in the rotation

    OK Rafer and Luther... bring us some future picks

    I love the fact that we can have a legitimate debate about our starting lineup, when last year we only had 3 quality players GUARANTEED to be starters on most teams.

    This team is stacked.....but I think Morey may have to move some of the guys, there are not that many minutes to go around.

    but we still don't have a solid lineup if Yao or TMAC or both are out due to injuries.

    Morey still has a lot to do.

    We had legitimate debates last year as well, but it centered around who we didn't want to be starting instead of who we want starting.

    do you guys think battier will be really effective in a rick adelman offense ? i think maybe he should come off the bench.

    Yao, Scola, Battier, McGrady, Francis

    Yao with Motumbo as backup.
    Scola, Hayes for 4 and 5 if Yao on the bench.
    Bonzi, Battier will both see some time on 4 but will focus on 3.
    TMac will be 2 or 3.
    James, Francis, Head are 1 or 2.
    RA for 1.

    That is already a 11 men squad.

    AB, Novak, Snyder will have very little playing time.

    It would be perfect if we can trade some guards for one good pf.
