Who's sick of the 3-4 guard lineups and "search" for the right combination??

We dont have to go small ball. All we need to do is run the offense through the wings. Only job for the bigs should be to rebound and defend the paint.

That doesn't work well when none of the bigs can reliably hit a jumpshot and Kidd-Gilchrist is on the floor with his broken jumper. If only two of your players area a threat to hit from outside fifteen feet it's remarkably easy for the defense to pack the paint and make you take bad shots.

Small ball doesn't mean point guards only. It means utilizing anyone to attack from the perimeter, wings included, and not with big guys on the inside.

Outside-in offense doesn't solve our issues, regardless of the size of the attacker. We need bigs.

True, which is why we shouldnt draft a wing player that doesnt at least have a respectable jumpshot. Id play MKG at the 4 when facing a team with a more finesse PF and have kemba, gordon, taylor, and sessions on the wings.

That is what im talking about. Attacking from the perimeter. Our bigs are complete trash. Have to be the worst in the league.

Speaking strictly about next season and beyond, you can get away with it just fine if your power forward has a good jumper. It's a big reason why you can't play any hustle/energy/defense guys (Hickson, Hansbrough, Noel, etc) long minutes in the starting lineup if you intend to keep Biz and MKG around as building blocks.
