Absolutely not. Apart from the obvious chemistry isssue that would arise under your instruction - you don't go around demanding things in Utah - there's plenty of firepower in the beautifully balanced starting lineup as it's currently constituted. Bell serves to temper the opposing SG from getting off to a flyer, is a proven long-distance dialler and spot-up shooter, and forms part of a devastating defensive swingman combination with Kirilenko. The combined game IQ of the back three of the current starters is sky-high. Coming off the bench with almost the license to fire at will or, at least, be the man in the second unit could not be more suited to C.J. Miles or the team.

I always wondered why starting, especially with the Jazz, is considered more important than minutes. Sloan has been notorious for starting players and giving them less than 20 minutes a game.
