These are very preliminary, if a Seattle fan wants to help with their starting line up. I'll edit any errors...thats ofcourse if the new Bigfooty lets you edit...luckily we have super moderator in the house

 

[Dingster]

Fair effort CA. I think that Lue will start ahead of Ward in Houston. I'm looking forward to see how their chemistry works out.

How old is Lenard? With K-Mart around, the old man should get his share of open looks.

Any word about the Mailman in LA. I thought that he was aligned to Kobe and might saddle up again.

 

[Portmanteau]

Derek Fisher will start for GSW. Jim Jackson will start for Houston.

 

[Portmanteau]

Eddie Jones will start for Miami.

 

[mattyc2422]

San Antonio

PG - Tony Parker
SG - Brent Barry
SF - Bruce Bowen
PF - Tim Duncan
C - Rasho Nesterovic

Manu will probably start ahead of Barry. Barry will come off the bench and split time at the 1 and 2.

 

[St-KriS]

Eric Snow would start for the Cavs wouldn't he?

 

[Portmanteau]

I'd imagine Jason Hart will start over House, also.

 

[Carmelo Anthony]

lol I cant believe I fergot about Eddie Jones. I did it real quickly, thanks guys.

 

[hans moleman]

Yeah, good effort with the lineups...
Is Nocioni really good enough to start over Deng?

I think Dallas will have Daniels somewhere in the starting lineup - at the expense of who, I don't know.

...after looking the Nets' lineup, now I know why Kidd wants to leave.

I also think Stoudamire wil still start for the Blazers, as will Crawford for the Knicks.

 

[St-KriS]

as will Crawford for the Knicks.

Only if Houston isnt fit at the start of the season.

 

[Carmelo Anthony]

Ok so here are the changes

Golden State

PG - Derek Fisher
SG - Jason Richardson
SF - Mike Dunleavy Jnr.
PF - Troy Murphy
C - Adonal Foyle

Miami

PG - Dwyane Wade
SG - Eddie Jones
SF - Rasual Butler
PF - Udonis Haslem
C - Shaquille O'neal

San Antonio
Im not too sure, I think Manu is the best 6th man in the NBA and that he plays better off the bench, but they are paying him huge money so I guess hes been promised to start

Charlotte
Eddie House or Jason Hart is a difficult one, it took me a whole to decide but I went with the experienced House who can score, and I cant see the Bobcats scoring a whole lot

Yea whats up with the Mailman? I heard either Miami or Retirement

I remember Riley was trying to make CB a point guard for this season but then I think he got injured, its interesting because he doesnt really look like someone who has PG potential.

 

[moistie]

Detroit

PG - Chauncey Billups
SG - Richard Hamilton
SF - Tayshaun Prince
PF - Rasheed Wallace
C - Ben Wallace

... and now with added Dice. I'll be interested to see how this lineup fares next season. To tell you the truth, I don't expect them to tear the league apart as LB rotates players ensuring all are rested at some stage during the season. I also expect Delfino and Darko to get increased minutes as well, causing the occasional downturn in the teams fortunes.

As is, I'd be happy with 55+ wins.

 

[mattyc2422]

San Antonio
Im not too sure, I think Manu is the best 6th man in the NBA and that he plays better off the bench, but they are paying him huge money so I guess hes been promised to start

Manu is good off the bench, but I think Barry can also provide something we need off the bench.

Don't forget, Manu was starting until Pop realised Hedo had to start because he was mentally fragile and had zero confidence coming off the pine.

 

[Dingster]

Have you looked at the odds for SA to win it all Matty? Might be worth a nibble.

 

[mattyc2422]

Have you looked at the odds for SA to win it all Matty? Might be worth a nibble.

I haven't yet mate. Any team with Devin Brown should be on very short odds.

 

[Carmelo Anthony]

Pop and Sloan, give them any bunch of players and theyll make a top team for you, San Antonio and Utah fans have a 6th man on the floor all the time...and he doesnt even count in their salary cap

 

[Colonel Matrix]

Marcus Banks will be the starting point guard for the Lakers.

 

[noogie_da_sheep]

Indiana

PG - Jamal Tinsley
SG - Stephen Jackson
SF - Ron Artest
PF - Jermaine O'neal
C - Jeff Foster

Reggie will start...won't get as many minutes as last season (should get 24-26) but he'll get the nod ahead of SJax.

 

[sante]

is Van exel with Portland?
