    We've done this thread several times now. I say we do the Lakers:

    center: shaq
    PF: horry
    SF: fox
    SG: kobe
    PG: the big flop

    any disagreements?

    Cat
    Rice
    Taylor
    Cato

    By Christmas:

    Francis
    Cat
    Rice
    Taylor
    Ming

    End of Season:

    Francis
    Cat
    Nachbar
    Griffin

    Ming will start in no less than 50 games this season, barring injury, and possibly as many as 70. That's my opinion. WHat he brings to the table above and beyond what Cato offers is just to invaluable to leave on the bench. Having a strong bench is good, but you want your best players out their simulataneously so they can all play off each other both offensively and defensively.

    I'm still also interested to see if Rudy ever goes to a Francis, Mobley, Griffin, Cato, Ming lineup. To say the least, it would be tall, and be even taller if you replaced Mobley with Nachbar for some time at SG (although I know Rudy would prefer to have more ballhandlers on the floor than less).
