STARTING SF?
Who do we start as SF? I much rather see JJ start then TrashCan Salmons.... What are your thoughts?

Re: STARTING SF?
James Johnson is going to start.
Out of Salmons, Garcia & Outlaw, Johnson > all of them
Probably the best defender out of the bunch. And probably more productive too.
Still wanted to sign T-Will though.

Re: STARTING SF?
If JJ starts, your staff should find some offensive opportunities for him. It would be a waste if you didnt run plays for him (like what we did). Just because he is a great defensive player, does not mean you need to ignore him on the offensive end or just expect him to score 15ppg on put-backs. blah..

Two words.
Zone defense.

As long as we start Thomas and Thornton--both of whom can shoot the three--I think we'd be OK. Not swell, but definitely OK.

Re: STARTING SF?
Johnson starts,
Salmons will we used when his ball handling will be needed, like if Evans is on the floor without IT.
Outlaw will get garbage mins when need a possible 3 point threat, end of quarters etc.
Garcia is odd man out now, one foot out the door.

Takes a second and look at the Kings roster. Now, who gets left out here? We've been debating how to even spread the offense around as is, and the best argument for doing so already has Thomas Robinson getting 9 shots a game.

This is what's strange, I'm guessing he's asking for too much money. That or the Kings are waiting it out and figure they can get him for the minimum.
