I think it will be:

Asik Motiejunas
Patterson White/Jones
Parsons Delfino
Martin Lamb
Lin Douglas

I don't love the idea of Motiejunas at center at all, but it's better than him or one of the other rookies not playing at all in favor of some lesser player. I also think we'll see both Asik and Patterson next to D-Mo some, with Asik/Patterson guarding the bigger guy.

Backup PF should be either White or Jones. I feel like McHale really likes White, but it obviously could easily be Jones, not White coming of the bench. Might be different from game to game for all we know.

Backup PG seems pretty open as well. I think Douglas complements Lamb pretty well and he might be the most proven of our options, so I think he'll be the guy early on. If he doesn't play well Machado or Livingston (if he makes the team) should get an opportunity pretty soon though.

I am convinced these guys will almost certainly be in the rotation barring major injury

Asik
Patterson
Parsons Delfino
Martin Lamb
Lin

7 guys. Only spots open for contention are backup PG, backup PF and backup C.

From the sound of some of Daryl Morey's twitter comments Patrick Patterson might be emerging as a team leader.

I like hearing that.

When does training camp start?

Lin/Lamb/Parsons/Motiejunas/Aşık. Pretty.

Courtney Fortson released.

Demetri McCamey, Kyle Fogg added for training camp..

I believe that both are combo guard types.

I like the future of this team with the performance of this young team in those two preseasn games

Coming in late on this, so apologies, but what would y'all be thinking as a best guess is the PF plan...
You seem overloaded, although I'd admit there is plenty of talent there. It's just that it's all young talent that needs time to develop and/or get showcased for trade.

Now that option A (which I am assuming was D Howard) has gone, do you play out the season with 17 power forwards? Or if you trade, what position would you be looking to bolster?

What is Kevin Martin doing playing well? Tryin to make me like him again....

Making me believe this team is gonna get that coveted 14th pick again

Post #272 » by **jwise44** » Tue Oct 16, 2012 2:33 am

Is it pretty safe to assume we are running

Lin/dougie/machado
Martin/lamb/Forbes
Parsons/delfino/morris(dleague)
Pat pat/jones/white(dleague)
Asik/motie/smith

Cut Livingston brockman and jjj??

I still think that we're making move before the season starts. Other than that, I think that you are right.

Morris is not going to the dleague. That would be cruel.

But that rotation looks about right.

Post #275 » by **Mr. E** » Tue Oct 16, 2012 2:59 am

I'm cheering for Morris to step up and prove that he belongs in the league.

I hope we do Forbes is way to good to be a third string sg/sf and Livingston brockman and jjj can net us a pick or two in some manner. Would not mind a few seconds Morey does well in the second round

On another note my dog just pooped on my favorite rug again...is murdering a bulldog a crime these days?

That is a really good show but I don't think he belongs in it

It is about football

Well played!

I wonder if anyone has informed Arian Foster that he was traded for Chalupa Batman MacArthur...
