What will the starting lineup for the up and coming season be? Will Starbury and Steve Francis start together (ever) this up and coming season? Also where else do you see the rest of the team in terms of who will get minutes behind who? Here's the roster: Renaldo Balkman F 6-8 208 07/14/1984 Mardy Collins G 6-6 220 08/04/1984 Jamal Crawford G 6-5 190 03/20/1980 Eddy Curry C-F 6-11 285 12/05/1982 Steve Francis G 6-3 200 02/21/1977 Channing Frye C 6-11 248 05/17/1983 Jerome James C 7-1 280 11/17/1975 Jared Jeffries F 6-11 240 11/25/1981 David Lee F 6-9 249 04/29/1983 Stephon Marbury G 6-2 205 02/20/1977 Quentin Richardson F-G 6-6 230 04/13/1980 Nate Robinson G 5-9 180 05/31/1984 Jalen Rose G-F 6-8 215 01/30/1973 Malik Rose F 6-7 255 11/23/1974 Maurice Taylor F 6-9 265 10/30/1976 Qyntel Woods F 6-8 220 02/16/1981 (Free Agent ? )
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting P.A.P.:</div><div class="quote_post">^ The sooner they get Crawford into that lineup, and get Francis out, the better.</div> I have a feeling there's gonna be a lot of bitching from Francis if he's not in the starting lineup. So in order to prevent that from happening Isiah just puts him into the lineup. But yeah, after last season Crawford definitely deserves to be in the lineup. He should definitely finishing games too.

I'd buy out Francis. He's just not a good human being to have in the lockerroom with Nate, Channing and DLee wandering around.

PG: Nate Robinson SG: Mardy Collins SF: Renaldo Balkman PF: Malik Rose C: Jerome James But seriously, everyone agrees on the same lineup. Why don't we change the thread to "who would you like to see start?"
I actually like your lineup. lol Yeah Francis is gonna demand playing time and Crawford coming off the bench isn't so bad.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting jefferson:</div><div class="quote_post">pg-francis sg-marbury sf-crawford pf-richardson c-frye best offensive unit ever</div> That line-up so undersized LOL! Richardson won't be able to gaurd any PF's in the league. I really hope your joking or being sarcastic!
I think PG - Starbury SG - Franchise SF - Crawford PF - Jefferies C- Nate naw j/k Maybe Curry or Frye Would be a tight small lineup.
I think the key thing will be who out of Francis and Crawford are the most effective off the bench I predit a few line up changes as Thomas will experiment to see what is most effective. I would like to see: PG/Marbury SG/Francis/Crawford SF/Jeffries PF/Frye C/Curry
^^ I actually agree with you. All though Francis WILL complain about not starting, I think it's best for Isiah to keep whoever is more effective off the bench. They would still get tons of playing time, but they would both make excellent sparks off the bench.
PG:Nate Robinson SG:Jeffries SF:Frye PF:Eddy Curry C: Jerome James That is the Big lineup with Nate on the court to make them look even bigger by contrast.
