    None of the above. Let's wait and see how Webster recovers and how effective he is. From there we can move accordingly.

    I chose option 1, but I wanted to choose "bring in starting small forward, move Batum to backup, trade webster and/or Outlaw."

    He is on defense. Not so much on offense.

    There are some real good points here - but I disagree with the defense argument - at least for a healthy Deng - he has been an average defender in the last couple of years - and I really suspect it has a lot to do with the fact that he was injured both years - but he was much better during his first 3 years.

    With the promise that Batum shows - the desire for Deng has really gone done - but he is still a very young player who was better than anyone we have on the roster in his position at this point - when he was healthy.

    So, Webster or Outlaw ride the pine? I'm worried that would be bad for team chemistry.

    True, but at the same time, a lot of the options hinge on sending our starting small forward to the end of the bench. That won't be great for team chemistry either.

    Gotta love these polls with limited choices.

    Keep all three, coach decides PT.

    BAKE IT!

    would have put "bake it" as an option if I was allow more than 10 choices.

    Still, no takers for Outlaw as Starter.
