    nets got zo. who a lineup of zo, mutombo and k-mart be good enough defensively to beat the west?

    zo can be played at PF while KMart can be played at SF. Mutombo would be the center.

    no mutombo wont start it will be zo at center martin at power forward jefferson at small forward most likely. they would need to trade a center.

    its a possible linup- one that will work imo but if they go with zo at c i would trade williams and collins for a lights out SG

    Martin is fast enough to be a SF. they're probably gonna keep Deke, but I dont expect him to get much playing time

    If deke and zo are both healthy they should use kmart as a sixth man. hell hurt tham if he plays too much. with deke and zo they might be better with him off the court

    this is a solid group, but i wouldn't consider it the best front court ever. maybe if zo & deke were in their primes, but right now they are at the end of their careers and kmart isn't that great of a rebounder.

    thats a great point shape. zo and deke are at the end of thei careers and kmart is a very subpar rebounder for his size and build and hype and an even worse shotblocker

    true. if they stuck with this lineup, i'd expect them to outrebound any team in the East

    ..i know. even though he isn't a great rebounder, he'll give you about 8 a game. Deke could get 5+ and depending on how Mourning does, he could get 7+. Then you've got Kidd who's an amazing rebounder, considering his size. Jefferson can rebound pretty decent and give you 5 off the bench

    maybe 8 a game if hes in for a long time. A big man like hiim should be getting a double double almost every night

    ..he average 8.3rpg. he should rebound in double digits, but that's not the point. it won't matter whether he gets the amount of rebounds that he should if he's got Zo and Deke.. and even Jason Collins :shock: he can get 5rpg
