I was reading the O-live peace on Barton and Crabbe and think it would be fun (not as starters, and only in exhibition) to see this lineup:

PG: Barton
SG: Crabbe
SF: Batum
PF: LMA
C: Leonard

The whole group can run and dunk, the guards could be good defenders. You could see a lot of steals for fast breaks with that group.
 
PG: Lillard
SG: Batum
SF: LMA
PF: Leonard
C: Lopez

Play zone on defense

Tall as shit, quick, can shoot. I think it would be fun
 
Lillard
Mo
Wright
Batum
Aldridge

The ultimate jump shooting team.
 
Well CJ is out for a while, but I was hoping to see Dame, CJ, and Mo on the floor all at once. With LMA. And then Batum or Lopez, depending what the other team is running.

Those three guards can pass and score in bunches. I think it'd be fun to see.

I can see Portland going with that lineup at the end of the game. Lots of shooting, everybody can make free throws. Who does Zach Randolph or Dirk Nowitzki guard in that lineup? I might go with Wes over Mo depending on who is playing better that night. There aren't nearly as many dominant low post power forwards as there used to be, so it's not quite such a disadvantage on the other end.

Portland has always done well with running LMA at center at the end of games. It can really throw the other team's rhythm off. Besides--Aldridge doesn't seem to mind playing center when the game is on the line. He seems to hate it the other 25-30 minutes a night he plays, though.
 
PG: Lillard
SG: Batum
SF: SlyPokerDog
PF: LMA
C: Lopez

That lineup would get slaughtered in the regular season. If we are going that direction, wouldn't you want to add HCP as the "enforcer"?
 
Maybe a Boise Blazer/BlazerDuck hybrid:

PG: Batum
SG: Crabbe
SF: Aldridge
PF: Leonard
C: Lopez

That would be a lot of length.
