Um, problem is that you can't go into the season with 18 players, so 
this doesn't work. Sending someone to the DLeague doesn't open up a 
major league roster spot - one of my major pet peeves with how they 
set that up.

Overall I agree, except - Rondo may well see some more defensive 
sub/can play PG minutes. He's got smooth, lightening quick hands on D 
for the steal that might turn a tight game. Powe may surprise you. 
I'd be more apt to give him the 10 min for development and help on 
the boards and send Jones back to the D League.
And as someone already pointed out, Cs have been pretty open that 
Grant is not going to ever be in a Cs uni.
