I assume it's New Orleans since they have Posey.

Usually the best bench can be found on a below .500 team. 12 ok players instead of 5-7 good to great players.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

I think it's us, since they have out played our starters on many nights. Maybe Dallas. They are as deep as it gets.

I don't know but I'd think they all feel the same. It's just a chair.

  That's only true until Leon gets a few more games under his belt.

A team where players 6-9 could probably start for most other teams in the NBA.The cavs are close when healthy & fully stacked.The Magic and Mavericks aren't bad either.

Portland -- their bench would make the playoffs as a starting unit in the East.

Edit: Actually, maybe not ...

That Steve Blake + Travis Outlaw trade has weakened their bench considerably

Bayless + Rudy + Batum + Cunningham + Przybilla
Mills + Diener + Pendergraph + Howard

It's still very good but maybe the not the best in the business anymore. I suppose you could include Marcus Camby as the backup PF. That would give the team the upgrade it would need.

  Yeah, like Walker's ever going to come out of the starting lineup...

Yep.  Plus what a luxury it is to have a player of the caliber of Varejao comimng off the bench.  He's probably better than any of our bigs at this point in time.  Cleveland is stacked.

I'm not high on the Cav's bench at all. Varejao is a great defender, and they have a couple other decent guys i guess but I would put both us and the Magic ahead of them especially talent wise. Can't think of the West off the top of my head right now.
