TWO DEFENDERS PER UNIT.
i think artest is better suited to starting if you have a pure point guard out there in prigioni. artest likes to set picks and it can't be just chandler setting them out there.

not a great rebounding lineup but it would not be any better with bargnani out there. but it is a better defensive unit. you also have fewer players who will be deferring to anthony which will force him to be more team oriented.
you also are not going to see wholesale lineup swaps so this 2nd unit stuff isn't realistic.
what you want to avoid is having bargnani and stoudemire out there together, bargnani and anthony out there together, and stoudemire and anthony out there together.
and they should never be out there all three at the same time. not enough defense and not enough ball movement.
