Press release just in my inbox from the Orlando Magic. The chess match continues.

Yep, no way in hell a perfectly healthy Lue (3rd PG option) would be inactive if 'Meer couldn't play.
You just don’t make like moves like this in a Finals game if the player is unable to go.

Exactly.
This isn’t the NCAA championship where you can dress a player out of respect knowing damn well one of the five walk-ons wouldn’t see the court anyways.
If Rafer gets injured on the first possession of the game (please God no) Jameer WILL HAVE TO go for 16 minutes. Therefore, he’s fully capable of it, otherwise he wouldn’t be dressing.
I agree with mhetrick14 too, if it was out of a respect gesture and he wasn’t going to play, they would have deactivated Richardson. Jameer is ready baby, I love it!

Yeah, it's tough to tell.
.. usually he’s dressed in street clothes at the end or behind the bench.

It appears the depth chart will be Jameer ahead of Anthony, as originally expected ..
.. before all this back-and-forth with Nelson that, ultimately, left me with a headache.

Right, I was just replacing Lue's spot with 'Meer
although I doubt ’Meer sees more minutes than AJ, regardless of “depth chart”

Well, before this .. orgy of information, it was originally made clear that ..
.. Jameer would replace Anthony in the rotation and take his minutes.

Interesting ..
.. I knew Nelson would be active, but to replace Lue? That changes my thinking, then.

SVG just said in his pre-game presser that he had to tell Dad that Jameer would play ahead of him.

Jameer's definitely playing, I like the mind games by SVG!

I know Dad doesn't care, so looks like we finally have a team at (relatively) full-strength.

I'm confused
Why do this? Because an unhealthy Meer is better than a healthy Lue?
