Assuming everyone get's healthy, Doc will have to make some tough decisions about playing time (I know that is a big assumption).  On top of that, I think this team still could use another wing cuzz frankly, I don't have faith in Wafer.  But I'd like to see a rotation of no more than nine come playoff time. 

PG: Rondo, West
SG: Ray, Wafer?
SF: Pierce, Green
PF: KG, BBD?, Murphy?
C: Shaq, JO?, Krstic?

So basically, our entire line up (12 guys) can lay claim to playing time except for Bradley.  If JO doesn't come back, that leaves 11 players.  If we don't play Wafer, then we are thin at guard but are down to 10 players.  Frankly, it seems that Murphy and BBD could be in some serious competition for playing time come the playoffs.

Does that seem right?  And would that seem to be okay, given BBD's time here?

I know that nine isn't a magic number but really, playing more than that would seem to be a bit too much.  And what if we do sign another wing? 

Again, it seems to me that some guys won't play as much as they think.

  Too soon to tell with the bigs. I think we're likely to see Green at the small forward and PP at sg to give Ray a rest, in effect giving Wafer's minutes (and probably some of Delonte's to Green.
