I dont want AI bringing the ball up the court. I can understand the Tay thing tho he can also bring the ball up. I like Bynum in there simply for setting up AI.

But since you insisted you didn't want AI out there with either him or Rip, i'll give you this 5: AI Afflalo Tay (he kind of has to be out there) Hermann McDyess I know this is a smallish lineup, but these are 4 good defenders out there with AI.
