With the news from last night's game that Gentry is planning on removing Beasley from the starting lineup, how do you guys see the Frontcourt shake out?  Does Markieff move down to SF and Scola starts at PF again?  Or does Dudley go into SF role?  How does this affect Markieff's role?

Suns are total mess, Gentry mixing up gazillion lineups, Bees is gone from starting 5 and Gortat is on the same path also:

 

According to beat writer Paul Coro, the Suns could make a change at the starting center position.

Coro is clearly speculating here, so owners shouldn't go into full-fledged freakout mode, but Gortat's play has noticeably declined since the start of the season. After a three-point, six rebound effort (1-of-8) on Thursday, Gortat could be looking at a reduced role. Jermaine O'Neal is taking some "crunch-time minutes" away from Gortat, and we're watching this situation very closely. For the season, Gortat is averaging 11.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.1 blocks on 52.2 percent shooting. The points, rebounds and field goal percentage are all down from last season.

It looks like Markieff is safe, but it's hard to tell which direction they are going to go. Paul Coro mentions PJ Tucker, who has really surprised in the early going, taking over at SF, but he hurt his knee and we're still waiting to see an update. It's messy in any case.

“Maybe my aggressiveness has faded, but you know why? Because in one game, I play well, and in the next, I don’t, while in the third one, I don’t play at all, and in the fourth, I’m suddenly getting a bunch of passes,” Gortat said. “There’s no consistency. I think that might be affecting me.”
