I'm far from the World's largest Z-Bo fan, there's some serious questions about his defense, character and inability to win. But at the same time, he's an allstar, and he's coming off the bench for Sac-town.

i think i would start randolph because hes in a contract year and will want to put up all star numbers again or he will be a cancer for sure on the bench imo.

He couldn't really do that. Boozer & Z-Bo's skill set are far too similar.

This lineup is an option, im not sure if Roy likes it though.

Boozer at C Randolph PF Jefferson SF Lee SG Rose PG

6th man Lewis

The teams just too small to compete. The combination of lack of height, lightning quick speed and percieved disinterest in playing defense makes it impossible for them to be on the court at the same time for extended periods of time.

The teams just too small to compete. The combination of lack of height, lightning quick speed and percieved disinterest in playing defense makes it impossible for them to be on the court at the same time for extended periods of time.

There will probably be lineups where I start both of them.  I could see doing that against teams that have one great defensive big man, and a much weaker defensive player.  In such a scenario, I might want to play both Boozer and Randolph to make sure that the opposing team couldn't "hide" their weak defender.

Overall, though, I like ZBO being the big man equivalent of Jamal Crawford, coming in and being an offensive and rebounding centerpiece.

People might not like the idea of Randolph off the bench, but I think it would be perfect for him.  He'd have the opportunity to exploit matchups against backup bigs and to put up big numbers, while playing 30 or so minutes per game.  So long as he played hard and wasn't a disruption, he'd get big minutes.  If, on the other hand, he acted like a cancer, the rotation is good enough that the Kings wouldn't lose a lot by benching him. 

In other words, Randolph has every incentive in the world to be a good citizen.

Just to clarify on a previous statement, I intended to write

"This lineup is too small to compete"

not "This team is...

Was wondering what thoughts would be if I went with this lineup:

Pg:Rondo
Sg:Rush
SF: JR Smith
PF:Landry
C: Bogut

Outlaw sixth man
Flip Murray
and a the rest of my bench?

Mostly concerned with thoughts about me starting JR at the 3

No, your team was better off before (defense/rebounding).

Given the rest of your roster, JR Smith is the best candidate for the sixth man role.

Also, want to keep Kris Humphries in your rotation. He is a solid backup big man. Underrated player. Helps boost your squad's rebounding. Humphries, Nazr, Ebanks, JR Smith ... all solid rebounders in their roles. Outlaw is a solid rebounding SF. Outlaw also brings more length and defense as a small forward than JR. Overall, your lineup has much better balance defensively/rebounding wise with Outlaw starting.

Just realized this:

No one selected Hubie Brown as a coach?

Our league is in danger of lacking in the 'good timeouts' department

That's Hubie Brown? I didn't recognize him in that picture. Is that a picture from his younger days, like back in the 70's?

I would like to take an informal poll that might have an effect on my team. Please pm me as to whether or not you think I have a playoff team.

I obviously believe I do but I'm curious as to what others think.

Slow day in fake NBA world. I think we need a controversial subject...

Gilbert Arenas = 2010 allstar. Anyone who disagrees with that doesn't understand life.

also gilbert arenas 2010 = handcuffed trade bait. he'll get just enough rope to prove to the knicks or magic (or nuggets...how about that for a darkhorse in the 'melo-drama'...trade marked ip, 2010) that they need him, but he won't be given enough rope to hang himself...or be an allstar
