I vehemently disagree that this should be the direction the team goes (if that's what you're suggesting). Obviously, this should be an option, as lineup flexibility is a great thing. I simply don't like it as the main, default lineup approach, that's all.
I believe at different times, the Mavs have started games in similar fashion - and the center was rotated out fairly quickly after 8-10 minutes. At that point I can at least imagine CW moving to the center position, while someone like Bullock rotates in for a version of small ball. In that environment, McGee gets the same or just a bit more mpg than he has historically gotten.
This is not to say the Kidd has this in mind, only that I can see it that way. I will say earlier reports of CW playing on the wing in Houston were not that encouraging, so Kidd may have his work cut out for him.
