    It'd be nice to have the rosters of the teams so we know who we're voting on :)

    I voted for the Kings, just because they already had one vote and I think its funny to see them winning the poll.

    Oberto is my back-up center. Najera is my first PF off the bench.

    The rotation would be: Kenyon leaves game in late first quarter, Pau moves to PF, Oberto comes in at center. Najera then spells Pau for a bit. Then Kenyon comes back in for Najera, followed by Pau for Oberto. This is ignoring foul situations, of course.

    The first guard off the bench would depend on match-up situations, but it would likely be Blake.

    I know, then there are no rosters that were updated on the site, and I seriously doubt ppl went to look through all the selections before their vote. How can this realistically be a non-biased poll without people giving favoritism towards someone?

    LOL looks like the Kings are the early favorite.

    In reality the Clippers are the best squad on this list.

    I don't see it. The Lakers' bench is horrible.

    I voted Warriors. They don't have the superstar power of the Kings, but they're stacked at every position with extremely talented players. Maybe on the young side up front, but the reserves are very good young veterans.

    I like the Kings. I sorta got nervous with Pau at center, but when seeing Oberto backing him up, I figured they'd be just fine at center..

    Both Barnes and House are solid contributors and I happen to not mind "That Eason Guy"

    At least they aren't starting a complete zero.

    My problem with the Kings is that they have to rely on Lee and Mo Evans to score consistently off the bench. I don't have that level of faith in them.

    Not necessarily- Blake could easily get more minutes at sg.

    Same applies to him and I'm already counting him as playing significant minutes.

    Why are we considering JON is injury prone when Kenyon Martin is very injury prone too, while Wade has been the last few years too? He tried to comeback too early last year and shut it down to get healthy for this year. All JO has to do is be effective for 28 minutes, then Reggie Evans will play 8-12 of the minutes with Wilcox @ C, with Jargon playing the last 8-12 minutes. LeBron could always log minutes @ PF and be Adrian Dantley like since my guards Webster can log some minutes @ SF if he has to. It's not like JO is the cornerstone of my team, so why does everyone hate on him so much? This divsion also doesn't have many dominant bigs, so even if JO does go down, I can use LeBron @ PF and give Webster SF minutes. So why does one guy alter your opinion since Wade could get hurt at anytime & his team will become like the Heat does when they lose Wade.

    I don't think it has anything to do with injury prone-ness...

    Then what does have to do with then? It's not he's my offense's main focus, he's a role player like Toronto are going to use him as.
