"Starters"

PG: Felton
SG: Shump
SF: Melo
PF: Amare
C: Chandler

The logic: Massage egos by having these names called when the lights go out pre-game.

"The Melo Show"

PG: Felton
SG: JR Smith
SF: Novak
PF: Melo
C: Chandler

Logic: I'm assuming that Amare and Melo can play together but both will be at their best as the primary focal point of the offense.
JR Smith and Novak should always be on the floor on the same time cuz dammit it's fun to watch JR always looking for Novak and may reduce JR hoisting up crazy shots.

"The Amare Show"

PG: Kidd
SG: Brewer/Shump/JR
SF: Novak
PF: Amare
C: Camby

Logic: Have Amare play center on offense where he's too quick for most big men. Camby guards centers on defense.
Kidd runs the PnR for Amare or gets him the ball down low for his new fangled shiny post game.
Shump guards the quicker PGs Kidd can't keep up with. Brewer can hopefully do the same?
Novak spaces the floor

"The Finishing Unit"

????? Good luck Woody because you know Kidd wants to be on the floor as does Melo and Amare. That's one slow PG who can't stay in front of people. The sieve that is Amare. Melo I think will be ok defending in crunch time and motivated.

PG: Kidd
SG: Shump (covers up for Kidd on D)
SF: ??????
PF: Melo
C: Amare


What y'all got?

Go figure. I thought this would be an interesting discussion now that everyone is sick of talking about Lin and being at each others throats over Melo.

I like the idea of Shump/JR/Brewer taking turns at starter. JR wants to start badly but it remains to be seen if he will play smarter this season. Give them all a chance to prove who should get the nod. Woodson can also decide who to start depending on what team they're playing and the matchups.

yea, I thought so too, which is why I entered... I felt I could avoid talking about carmelo completely which is fine with me... no controversy, no interest I guess.. wow

Felton
Shump
Melo
Amar'e
Tyson

That is a good combination of defense and offense. It is athletic as well. They only issue may be the three-ball. Felton, Melo and Shump's three point shooting tend to be erratic.

I think if Mobb Deep is even better than last season, why would breakup the energy off the bench of Shumps, Swish and Kain???

Felton
Brewer
Melo
Amare
TC

That's three slashers and two really good pick/roll options with Melo as the bale out guy.

I prefer Felton with Amare and Kidd with Melo, but I'd like to see Felton and Kidd on the floor together often too.

I think Mobb Deep is going to be crazy this year with Kidd or PP running it. See all the range Kain has these 2 pre-season games. Can't wait for Shumps and Swish to show their growth!!!!!

I think that lack of outside shooting is going to kill the offense completely considering Melo, Amare, and Tyson all are best inside.

There are still serious doubts as to whether Melo and Amare can be at their best together on the floor. How many games do we give the team to make it work before admitting that maybe the team has a better shot at winning games with Melo/Amare "starting" games but then playing them mostly on seperate units.

The big dilemma if that is true is this: If Melo and Amare are both at their best seperately, then there will inevitably be games that are close in the 4th quarter. What do you do then if you're Woodson? Put two guys who aren't good together on the floor during the most important stretch in a game?
