Kidd Karma
Benchwarmer
D'Antoni's run into the same problem with Howard and Gasol. Right now he's going to stagger the lineup as much as possible to keep them separate, but of course both being 36 minutes guys, there will be about 12 minutes they'll have to learn to coexist.
I think Melo is so versatile the he will do certain things with Amare on the floor, to keep Amare in the flow. He'll play more all around with Amare off the floor. Not too worried about Amare-Melo as I am about JR's shot reduction/selection when Amare is back. Even Kidd, the thinking is "oh I'm open, but I need to get Amare back in the flow", gun back in holster and looking to pass. this group will be fine, trust in Woody, he's had a season to figure out a system on the court.
