    I'll have to wait until I see them play a game together before I can make a judgement.

    Well when KVH was in New Jersey he did guard the SF's a lot because Keith couldn't so I think they can experiment with a lineup of Zo/Deke/Martin/RJ/Kidd. I think the Nets have already expressed interest in placing RJ at the two guard already. Either way, not the best defensive frontcourt of all time.

    agreed. Kittles and Harris would be a great bench core and theyre far from the best frontcourt in any sense of all time.

    there is no way to tell...they havnt even played a single game together...three really good defensive players yea, but two of them are past their prime, and one of them hasnt reached his yet...so why even ask? clearly not, clearly not even close.

    besides, arent the nets going to trade dikembe? he gets barely any minutes as it is, and hes not a pf nor is zo...so that line up wont be happening

    That is the worst jump shooting lineup I've ever heard outside of the Pistons before Rip Hamilton.

    i think this all rests on how Zo plays. Deke is old, but he's still got some defensive presence in him

    BC, it wouldn't be too much worse than their normal lineup. They'd still just run and run and run.

    But at least with Kittles they have a player who can hit a 20 footer.

    It wouldn't matter much. They can just put out that lineup when they want certain advantages on the defensive end for some periods of the game. Their offensive gameplan wouldn't change a bit, just run. With the defense that that lineup can potentially provide in stretches there would be no room for the half court game. Defensive stop, outlet, run. That's it.

    it'd be a little harder for them to run the floor with Deke and Zo out there, but they could still do it

    All they would need is Kidd, KMart, and RJ. KMart and RJ fill the wings while Kidd blazes down the middle. Routine fast break.
