    The reason I say mine is the best because if you see the Knicks play for most of the season as I do whenever the game is close alot of their bench players are in the game. Marbury and Curry were the only starters considered to be involved. Crawford for his scoring ability, Q Rich for his 3 pt shots, rebs, and defense (he plays it unlike most of the Knicks) Lee for his scoring and great rebounding and Balkman for his energy on the court, but really after thinking about it now that Q Rich and Crawford are in the starting lineup the bench don't have much production other than Lee so you guys are right they are not the best.I think the Suns have a real good bench but I don't think it was better than the Knicks until now with LeAndro Barbosa as one of the top sixth men candidates, James Jones, Jumaine Jones, its a shame Kurt Thomas is hurt then he would be doing what Lee is for the Knicks (kind of, less athletism) but yeah I see what you guys are talking about with the Mavericks.Its tough to think about their bench when they got Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry and Josh Howard in their starting lineup, but Jerry Stackhouse, Devin Harris, DeSanga Diop, and the others do give them probably the best depth in the NBA.Other teams have interesting bench players as well that can be mentioned but I think the best bench team by seasons end will actually be the Detroit Pistons. Adding Chris Webber from his Philly buyout increased their starting lineup but it makes the bench even more dangerous. Nazr Mohammed's size could be used nicely in games, Antonio McDyess is a workhorse when he comes in, Carlos Delfino gives outside range, Lindsay Hunter is a proven quality backup point guard and Jason Maxiell will soon come into his own. Umm but thats not all... if Eddie Jones and/or Jalen Rose get buyouts by their respective teams they could join Detroit in order to create more strength for a championship run.

    Ya I would have to say the Warriors too I mean their starting lineup is pretty stacked but off the bench they got three guys that are capable of lighting it up. (Ellis,Barnes, and Richardson)
