I'm assuming we won't be getting many more players from PG to SF. So what starting lineup would you use and why?
Marbury, Crawford, Q (Bench = TT, Ariza, Nate)
Marbury, Q, TT (Bench = Craw, Nate, Ariza)
Marbury, Q, Ariza (Bench = Craw, Nate, TT)
Nate, Marbury, TT (Bench = Q, Craw, Ariza)
Nate, Marbury, Q (Bench = Craw, Ariza, TT)

If we later trade TT for a Center, then we would have the starting lineup of Marb-Craw-QRich. Then, we would need a backup SG, but that can be acquired down the road..

Or maybe down the road Ariza proves he deserves to be in the starting lineup, and then we start him (TT gone) so we would either get a backup SF or use Q at SF when Ariza is on the bench...

Marbury, Q, Rose

with Sweets and Frye up front...

This allows us to bring in an explosive bench unit that will play more minutes. Bring the "other 7 footer" which is hopefully Chris Anderson, Gadzuric, or Hunter off the bench to rotate between the 4 and 5 for about 30 mins per game. Bring in Ariza at the 3 to play 25 mins per game. Rose can shift to the 4, Craw can rotate beteween the guards, and we can go small on occassion with Nate, Craw, Q, Ariza, Frye -- that team runs opponents out of the building.

This would be my rotation. Mostly being a 9 man rotation in which we could limit everyones mins -- especially Marbury -- who would stay healthy if we could keep him to 30 to 35 mins per game...
1. Marbury
2. Q
3. Rose
4. Sweets
5. Frye
6. Crawford
7. Gadz/Hunter/Anderson
8. Ariza
9. Nate Robinson
10. David Lee - for at least 5 mins a night
