..how would you feel about a starting lineup of:
- Kidd
- Butler
- Nowitzki
- Haywood
- Chandler
That'd leave you with a bench of Barea, Terry, Jones (the rook), Marion, and Ajinca, which I listed in that order because that's a starting five that would give the at least the T-Wolves some problems... they're not guarding anybody, but, with the starting five I listed, would they HAVE to?
Kidd's the shortest player, at 6'4", and still an excellent rebounder from the point guard position. Butler is 6'7", which is larger than most shooting guards, and even if Kidd and Butler and too slow-of-foot to keep their guys from driving past them, they'd be running right into a frontcourt that's 7'1", 7'0", and 7'1".
Oh, and I didn't mention Stevenson, 'cause he'll probably only play significant minutes if there's some injury issues, or if someone gets traded, and I didn't mention Roddy B, 'cause he's injured, and may miss the beginning of the season. (Hurt himself in France playing with the national team. Stupid cheese-eating surrender monkeys.) I also didn't mention Mahinmi because he's nowhere NEAR ready yet, although, since the Spurs drafted him, I wouldn't be ready to give up on him yet either...
...stupid James Anderson...
Anyway, it's just an idea. What do you think of it? Let's hear it.
