    It'll never happen, but what if we put B-Roy as 6th man?

    Think of this starting lineup:
    Miller, Rudy, Martel, Lamarcus, Oden

    With this bench:
    Blake, Roy, Nic, Travis, Joel

    ...

    It'll never happen but think about it, we would be winning many games for sure.

    I think where Roy plays in the rotation in relation to wins and losses is irrelevant. The team wins no matter what. You start him and finish because he is the man.

    those line ups are okay, but I don't think your starters vs benchers is a good idea. That said, who wouldn't be happy with any of our players as starters?

    They're all good enough to be starters. At least the first ten.

    Um...the Lakers, Spurs and a number of teams! Personally I'd trade Batum and Webster for Wallace. I'd trade Blake and Miller for a number of point guards also, if I didn't get laughed out of the room.

    Our star level player is Roy and we have several other promising players- but don't over rate our bench.

    No ... they're all good enough to be rotation players, but they are not all starting quality players.

    Disagree. Any of the first ten could start on most teams league wide let's say outside the top five. And even in the top five. Some if not most could start on those teams.

    There are certainly some guys 6-10 who could start on a bad team, or for a team devoid of talent at a particular position, but none of Blake, Pryzbilla, Webster, Rudy or Travis are what I would call top 20 players at their respective positions (throw Nicolas in that discussion too). Saying a guy could be a starter on most teams in the league presumes they are a top 10 or top fifteen player at their respective position. These guys aint.

    I say yes to drugs and tacos! In fact, drugs make me want more tacos!:ghoti: But they will never make me think like the first post in this thread.
