I think Cassell should start because he has more experience and he is better player right now. Dunleavy should let Livingston play against reserve players because that is the way he improves most. Of course it would be nice, if he could start against the worst teams like Atlanta or Charlotte. They are going to share minutes very equally, though.

Good thing about getting Sam is that he can play SG as well as PG.

Starting back court:

#1: Cassell/Mobley
#2: Livingston/Mobley
#3: Livingston/Cassell

Which one of these is the best one? I think the answer is #1

I definitely being the season by starting Cassell, but be prepared to swap him out to the bench sooner rather than later. If Livingston keeps up his health, I think a mid-season switch during a rough patch could see him become the permanent starter.

I Think Livi Should Start Cuz Cassell Would Be More Effective Coming Off The Bench. He Can Come In And Run The 2nd Team With His Veteran Skills. He Could Be A Great 6th Man For Us This Year.

Agreed 100%. They should start the season with Cassell and as Livingston progresses, they should make the switch toward the break.

No doubt Cassell should start. We need all the wins we can get, being in the west. Yeah Livingston is the future, but 1 year of splitting time with Cassell and being the 6th or 7th man on a playoff team isnt going to kill him.

Livingston is our primary backup, Cassell is capable of playing the 2, Livingston will get plenty of time, but he doesnt need to start.

Cassell you dont want to start him off with a bad attitude, so it should be his to lose.

Zinger30 · 08-13-2005, 12:45 PM

I'd start whoever can get the job done.

Cassell WILL and should start.

We don't need to dump this team on Livingston's shoulders after a year where he played in 25-30 games.

I'm comfortable doing this with Cassell as the starter, Shaun can still log 25-30 minutes per game and hopefully stay healthy and play 70 games this year.

I think you have to have Cassell start in the beginning. He was an all-star in 04 and is still very talented. Him and Livingston should equally split time at PG. But possibly towards the end of the season if Livingston is doing great move him into the starting role.

Dumping the team onto livingston this early in his career would be a mistake.. He needs time to grow and learn the tricks of the trade.. Cassell has experiance, knows how to run the team... He will start.. And if he doesn't... The coaching would be stupid.

Play whoever earns it. Cassell is a proven starter, so I expect him to start. Livingston will get his chances because Sam's health won't let him play a full season. And by the end of the season perhaps Livingston will have earned the starter's job.
