[QUOTE]While it is rare that a man making as much as Lee would ever come off the bench, it would actually be the best course of action for both him and the team. As talented as the Warriors are, only a select few can truly create their own offense. Lee is one of them.

Putting him on the second unit would make him the focal point of the bench attack, ensuring that the offense runs through him. As a starter, he is the third option at best. For such a gifted scorer, the more touches he gets the better, especially if those touches are not coming at the expense of Curry or Thompson.

A bench consisting of Shaun Livingston, Brandon Rush, Harrison Barnes, Lee and Festus Ezeli would absolutely compete with anyone. With Lee as the featured option, the bench could go from being the Warriors

Considering how atrocious the GS bench is? Yes.

I'd start Green. Then they'd go from having one of the worse benches to one of the best, easily.

Curry/Livingston
Thompson/Rush
Iguodala/Barnes
Green/Lee
Bogut/Speights

That second unit can probably beat the Magic or Sixers.

Trade away one for better asset as backups
