    Not a huge fan of the lineup. I know Noah is out, but I like Noah and Mo next to Nurk for their movement towards the rim. Mo had some easy dunks when Nurk found him slashing to the hoop.

    Shouldn't we actually see him healthy playing alongside Nurkic before we make that judgment?

    I really think Ed is the best fit for backing up Nurk. Just don't think we will see as much of him at PF.

    We never did see Ed with Nurk. I think his style of play is perfect to play along side the big man. Cleaning up misses. Offensive putbacks. Waiting for the dish when Nurk gets doubled. All the stuff Noah was doing. I think he is capable. And who knows, maybe Stotts has been playing them together in training camp and liked what he saw.

    Not necessary, how about the two rooks? Bring Meyers in to pack up Nurk. You know, Meyers and Swannigan migh be a nice combination out there together. If hit can hit some open Js outside it will open up the post for Swan to go to work down there.

    Who's Scott? Byron Scott? He stopped coaching your team a few years ago.

    Meyers for Marco Belinelli works on the trade machine.

    Yes, Meyers. If in fact we're going to give Meyers 2.0 an opportunity to play, wouldn't a preseason game against potentially the league's worst team be a good time for that?
