BigErie, MB will probably continue to use AV off the bench - since he is more effective that way.  Remember the old cliche - "it doesn't matter who starts, but who finishes."

I do believe you are correct in that, that is the way MB will go, for a few reasons:

• AV probably is better coming off the bench due to the energy he brings.
• Ben might have a problem not starting, which could hurt his attitude/effort.
• Ben makes almost 3 times more $.

However, I don't completely agree that is the way it should be, but I do expect it will be.

And you're also correct in the old cliche "it doesn't matter who starts, but who finishes." That is why I have faith that 2 of my fav players (Andy and Boobie) will be finishing...

The only reason Sasha would start over Wally is defense. Offensively (as long as their both on their games) Wally is still all-star level and Sasha is borderline starter at best.

 

But what people are forgettin is that MIKE BROWN MADE WALLY AN OK DEFENDER IN LESS THAN A MONTH.

 

Theres a chance his D's improved a hell of alot over the past few months.

 

I think Wallys gonna suprise us this year. He'll play great with Mo. He'll have his shot back immediately in our first game GUARANTEED. Theres no way a shooter like Wally continues to shoot averagely.

 

Nah Wally will be huge for us and by the deadline we'll be questioning whether we should trade him.

what? wally is still at allstar level? was i the only guy who looked at the boxscore after game 7 in boston and saw a big 0 behind wally's name? wally isn't the player he was three or four years ago in minnesota. in my opinion he's an average forward who is extremly overpaid now but could come off the bench to shoot some spot up 3s

The starting line-up will Be :

1. Mo 2. West 3. LeBron 4. Wallace 5. Z, for all that say West is too small to play the 2 essentially it doesn't matter He is a natural off-gaurd. He is 6'4" not 6'3" or smaller, Larry was 6'5" not 6'6" like someone posted earlier. If size determined your position the league would be in trouble because every team would look the exact same. Skill determines your position and West should flourish at the 2, like He did in college with Nelson at the 1. I'm not saying He's gonna get 20 ppg, but I def think He'll be a consistant 15-17 per night. With the rotation of Mo, West, Gibson, Wally, Pavs I think that combo will contribute 35-50 points per night this year on a pretty consistant basis, and if they can we would only need about 15-25 points per from our rotation at the 4 & 5 which with the addition of Wright, & what I think Hickson is capable of puts us in that range with Z carring the load. That just leaves Lebron to be Lebron which his best seasons have all come off of Olympic summers. Our team def is among the best in the East, so I would have to agree with an earlier post and say we may not be the best team in the East right now, but I would def lock us in @ a solid #2.

I think west will be more of a 2 guard then kinsley will be..Just because the fact that we know west is consistent and kinsley went from 18pts to 7 pts to .8pts..Maybe it was because he didnt have mins but we already know how west will play..Maybe during the preseason, give him some time to see how he plays but..Thats my opinion

Why does everyone have that LaBrohn character automatically starting at the SF? Doesn't he have to earn it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Snow

 

Kinsey

 

Wally

 

Jackson

 

Wright

 

 

 

shooting for Demar as the #1 pick in the 2009 draft baby.

 

 

Please PLEASE PLEASE tell me your kidding....If not i think you should be either A.blocked or B.ran over by a monster truck with LEBRON driving it!!!~

Yep, it was a joke, don't bust a vein.

Now that we have a roster, my new starting five:

Mo

Sasha (hope he layed off the "Dunkin Donuts" this offseason and hit the courts)

LBJ

Ben

Z

2nd group:

West

Boobie

Wally

JJ

AV

Hopefully we can keep LBJ down to 30-35 minutes during the season to keep him fresh for the playoffs. If our roster plays to their potential, don't see why that can't happen.
