That's not a perfect representation of how I think it will work, but those are the player comps that make sense to me, and how I see it working in a general sense. Marshall will play with Washington at times, obviously, Thompson with Grimes, etc. I'm not saying the guy in the right column will only replace his counterpart on the left, but when it comes to the backup 4 I'm not worried a bit. There are tons of guys there who can play that position on offense, and I could argue that on defense, the 4 is the best spot for about three or four of them.
I think we're all a little apprehensive about the playoff defense but man hard to argue with the overall talent of the team. I'm going to be disappointed if we're not a top 2 or 3 seed. Hopefully health agrees with us
That bench is a lineup that the old MBT would have given Dirk to play with (and he would have won 50 games with it)
