PRESEASON GAME 1: DAL @ OKC | 98-96 win

I understand that Dinwiddie has earned a starting spot, but I really hope most of the minutes in those first/third lineups have Dinwiddie and Timmy swapped.

Absolutely. It's not about deciding who the 5 best are and starting them, imho. It's about synergy and system. 

If they're starting McGee there is almost no choice but to use him as a screener to start off games. If you don't do that, he's literally not getting guarded. Since you're locked into 1-5 pick and roll as your starting offensive approach most nights, it makes all the sense in the world to have a catch-and-shoot guy spacing for that action, giving it a chance to be successful, and not running your second (out of two) creator into the ground when he's not the offensive focus.
