    Harkless is hurt. He had his knee scoped in May to remove a loose body, but he still hasn't recovered. I think his knee is going to be a problem.

    Turner will start. Layman will be his backup. Hopefully this means Baldwin will get some time running the 2nd unit.

    LeBron will realize that @HCP supports the Lakers and will demand Magic buy him out.
    LeBron will then sign with Portland for the vet min.
    LeBron will then be the starting SF this year in Portland.

    I suspect, in Stotts eyes the depth chart looks like. SF - Harkless, Turner, Layman, Stauskus, Trent Jr.

    Aminu can also play SF when Collins is at PF, maybe he even starts at SF if Hark ain't ready. Can't believe Hark is not ready after a May scope, this does not sound goof

    If Harkless can't go...and Terry wants a Curry, Nick, ET 2nd unit then I would start Layman. Yeah he would struggle early but I think he would get better as the year went on with a little experience.

    If they let Baldwin run the 2nd unit (and they should) then I would then start ET at SF.

    If ET has to play, I'd rather start him where he'll be the 5th option than have him dominate the ball on the second unit.

    I know we heard all summer how the plan is to surround ET with shooters on the second unit, but the subtext is "we want ET shooting less". Which makes sense, since he sucks at it. But, that's also why I'd rather see him start (if he HAS to play). With Dame, C.J., Nurk and Aminu on the floor with him, there is very little reason for ET to get many shots.

    I'd rather just not see him at all, but if we HAVE to, this is the lesser of two evils (at least until Harkless comes back).
