    Is now a competitive starting line up. Obviously that's just theoretical, but their injured players would be better than most starting lineups if healthy.

    The thing with players coming in who don't get a lot of playing time is no team has film on them and there a wild card. Its the same when a top player goes out and a secondary player suddenly gets the green light to do what he wants, It can and does take teams by surprise and is a great wrench tossed into games that sometimes don't have much mystery going in. After a few games of game tap and couches being able to review film and create a new defensive plan for the player you get to truly see if its a gimmick brought on by an unscouted player or a player in a new role or if that player is the real deal.

    So, what you're saying is Westbrook and Durant plus any other 3 players is pretty much better than most starting lineups?

    Way to go out on a limb there...;)

    If fully healthy, is our Retired Disabled Player Injury list (Roy/Miles/Oden) competitive with anyone else's full team?
