How's My Pick 2 Team?

[Lucky17]

The completed Knicks:

PG: Kyle Lowry
SG: Brandon Rush
SF: Tayshaun Prince
PF: Paul Millsap
C: Dwight Howard

Bench (in order of PT):
Luke Ridnour PG/SG
Corey Brewer SG/SF
Klay Thompson SG/SF
Jon Brockman PF
Chris Andersen C
Semeh Erden PF/C
Tyler Honeycutt ?

On the whole, I like it. I think the guard and wing depth is good.

Not crazy about the backup bigs. Just a thought: trade a wing to SO for one of his extra PFs?

Nah. I'll bite the bullet and play a combination of Erden/Prince/Andersen out of position for a few minutes each game and give the Brockness monster 12 minutes or so to do his tiny-armed best out there while Millsap gasps for breath.

Ugh. Really could use some help at the backup PF spot. Foul trouble could really derail this team.

[theswitch]

Without too much thinking, here's the new rotation:

PG: Jrue Holiday (33), Mo Williams (15), Beno Udrih (0)
SG: Joe Johnson (10), Ronnie Brewer (18), OJ Mayo (18)
SF: Shawn Marion (15), Joe Johnson (20), Tracy McGrady (13), Ronnie Brewer (0)
PF: Amar'e Stoudemire (20), Shawn Marion (15), Gustavo Ayon (13)
C: Kurt Thomas (12), Nikola Vucevic (18), Amar'e Stoudemire (13), Gustavo Ayon (5), Cole Aldrich (0)

Something like that. Still undecided on who to start at center and how to deal with a crowded and deep team. Willing to field offers on Udrih and Mayo/Brewer, as the former should be getting at least some playing time and the latter two are worth more than their role in Orlando.

Really curious what you guys think.

My first inclination was that Marion would start at PF next to Amare at C.

But I like this much better. Johnson moves back to SG. And you could run that other lineup for a different look.

Nicely done. Super deep team.

Thanks. I'll definitely go small sometimes with Amar'e and Marion but Shawn's played almost all of his minutes this year at the 3 (about 50/50 last year). I wanted him to start at the 3 so Johnson could at least start at the 2, but they'll split their minutes between the positions.

Its something. Its like you drew a really complicated way to cook macaroni and cheese.

Really really good Mac and Cheese. Like 4 kinds of cheese.

Haha I can't tell if you like my new team better or if you're getting really hungry.

[The Walker Wiggle]

The Choose Two Portland TrailBlazers.

PG Lou Williams, Jerryd Bayless
SG Wes Matthews, Imam Shumpert, Manny Harris
SF Gerald Wallace, Anthony Parker, Austin Daye
PF LaMarcus Aldridge, Trevor Booker, Tristan Thompson
C Elton Brand, Amir Johnson

Wow, IP lost his fast ball. You should've seen this guy in his prime, Switch. For two years there wasn't a better armchair GM.

[Who]

Los Angeles Lakers

PG - Jordan Farmar, Leandro Barbosa, Will Bynum
SG - Kobe Bryant, DeShawn Stevenson
SF - Thabo Sefolosha, Corey Maggette, Rasual Butler
PF - Pau Gasol, Taj Gibson, Vladamir Radmanovic
C  - Omer Asik, Ronny Turiaf

PG Lou Williams, Jerryd Bayless

C Elton Brand, Amir Johnson

Very good depth at the 3-5.

I think I'd like this team even more if there were a PG on the roster who looked to get others involved instead of getting his own first.

As it is, I think it's an improvement on the Real Blazers.

Why play Trevor Booker ahead of Tristan Thompson?

[Edgar]

P.G. Raymon Felton / Jameer Nelson

I'd like to see you cash in some of that depth for an upgrade. Even if it was an upgrade at the backup. Some of those guys will be underutilized.
