Who is the deepest team in the NBA this season?I gotta give it to Dallas on this one. Check out their bench:Jerry StackhouseAnthony JohnsonDevean GeorgeErick DampierAustin CroshereDevin Harris
Dallas, their off-season was great, but the Bulls are right behind. They had 12 players who played in their opener. Their bench players are very good. If the Suns get Jalen Rose their bench will also be pretty good with Banks, Barbosa, Amare, Jones, Jones, Rose and maybe...Marks...who could all play.

I watched some of the Pacers game tonight and Foster looked great.
I think the clippers have a deep bench....! Mobley,Livingston or Cassell, Thomas, Paul Davis(not proven yet but will be)
Bulls are pretty deep too.PG- HinrichSG- GordonSF- DengPF- BrownC- WallaceBench:Chris DuhonAndres NocioniTyrus ThomasMalik AllenThabo SefoloshaAdrian Griffin

Daniels, Harrison, Foster and potentially Williams/Sarunas is all you have. Darrell, Orien(who you misspelled btw), and marshall are nobodys.

Daniels, Marshall, Armstrong, and Josh Powell(You didnt mention him though) all were on the Mavs last year. Powell I think will be getting more minutes than Marshall, Williams and Green too.
The Magic have a pretty deep bench. Doolling, Arroyo, Bogans, Millicic, and Garrity.And what about those, although aged, Spurs. Finley, Barry, Elson, Horry, Bonner, Vaugh, Butler, and Udrih. Now throw James White in the mix. Nice solid bench.

The mavericks got the better deal though.
dallas, chicago, san antonio. boston's bench will be up there in a year or so. rondo, tony allen, gerald green, al jefferson, theo ratliff, delonte/gomes.

A young player will never completely flourish in Boston as long as Doc Rivers is coaching, seriously.But enough about my Doc rant, I say Chicago and Dallas. The Bulls have a very young bench, but also a very talented. Duhon is a leader and has a solid overall game, Nocioni is a legit 6th man candidate, Griffin is a lock-down defender, Tyrus Thomas is a freak and a potential up-and-coming star, Sefolosha is a good defender and versatile, Malik Allen is tough, and Khryapa is actually better than people think. Also, if Mike Sweetney didn't weigh as much as Roseanne, he could be a legit 9 and 6 guy.
