Three preseason games in - has your opinion changed at all?

Is that a good or bad thing with this team? On one hand I love to have that 3rd player available when one of the other two misses 4-6 weeks (or more) with an injury.

On the other hand when they are all healthy, someone is not happy with their playing time. I think if Pat C was ready to contribute in case of an injury then trading Hendo might be an option. But I think he is a year off.

I like Hendo's game, and if either Amino nor Harkless get's hurt we will need Crabbe at SF. (Or if we need more outside shooting at the 3)

I think we need the log jam...at least until the trade deadline. Then maybe we will have a better idea of what we have at the SG/SF positions.

 

Its kind of the flip side for all teams having depth. If your teams has extra players to withstand an injury you'll have unhappy campers when everyone is healthy.

With these Blazers I think it'll be fine because we have a lot of positional flexibility with our players and we have a lot of guys who aren't established so they don't require playing time every game even if ideally they'd like it.

 

All the moves looked super-smart, even at the time. Even Hendo as insurance in case CJ or Crabbe didn't pan out. We may not need him at all, but every move shored up missing pieces of our offense and defense, tailored around Dame. The moves were individually small, but played out really well.
