A couple of things though: TA needs to go. I saw the Knicks-C's game at the garden a few weeks ago and TA was by far the worst player. His defense is good but inconsistent and it doesnt make up for his offense, which is atrocious. He can't shoot, dribble, or pass; which usually leads to someone who cant do much on offense. The only time he's effective is when he drives to the hoop but he doesnt have the confidence (nor the free throw shooting ability) to do it successfully. In terms of the second 5, I think that house should be the first sub of the game. He should come in for Rondo and play with starters, if he's with the starters he can spot up on the outside while ray ray, paul and co. cause double teams. House is a better shooter than Rondo so he can help that unit. Then when Rondo comes in with Daniels, Scal, Big Baby, and Sheed, he can penetrate and create shots and lanes for the other guys and he can get past pretty much anyone who tries to guard him. Also, defensively, his natural ball-hawk instincts can help get steals and deflections if someone else (mainly Scal) gets beat. What do you think? Great piece. A couple of things though:

It just goes to show how good the Daniels signing was. He gives them a bunch of new options to explore in terms of lineups. Versatile dude. Nice analysis.
