From what i've read, it sounds like that is what our starting lineup is gonna be. Lue is an improvement over Vaughn. Having Howard in the lineup is also an improvement. And the bench, especially with Giricek moving there, is much better and deeper.
Gaines and Bogans are going to be the keys. They both need to contribute. Bogans is probably more ready as of now. I'd like to see Gaines take the starting PG by the All-Star break.

Good post as usual Dee Bo. I was just thinking about this and posted a minutes breakdown in another thread. I think one thing that should be noted is Doc seems to be leaning towards having two starting lineups depending on the size their opponent has. The smaller lineup would include Giricek at small foward and Howard replacing DeClerq at center.
Also, I see Garrity as more of a small foward now that the Magic have added two (maybe three depending on Harvey) big guys. I agree with you about the rookies. They need to help out, especially Gaines. Like you said, I hope he is ready to take over the starting job sometime during midseason.
