i didn't realize contract size determined lineups and best strategy.
unfortunately it does in the NBA and in most professional sports.
I think it would be best with team balance for him to Play off the bench as 6 man. But I have to agree with slim, it's going to be hard for a 20 mil player to come off the bench. Better scenario is Woodson figures out what Mda couldn't. Before stat went down the team was strting the streak and playing well together. So I do think it's possible
I don't know. Shot blocking and rebounding (especially offensive rebounds) has always been sort of weak for our team.. I mean Lin can rebound as well, but I'm worried his surgery will force him to do less of rebounding and attacking the basket. Tyson can't do it all alone as we have seen a few games where he was monstrous on low post defense and rebounding, but then we see how drained and hurt he becomes.
