Having one or two guys who can come in and hold down the fort when your main offensive weapons sit is one thing but depth really is only a regular season need. Everyone's rotation shrinks in a huge way. You pay your best players what you pay them because you plan on riding them 40 minutes a game when it matters.
Agreed.
Personally, I am amazed that Kidd has found a way to keep the rotation 9-deep and still finds himself tied with the best team in the NBA. 9 is as deep as a playoff rotation gets, tbh.
It speaks to the competency of both Kidd's staff and the players on the roster, imo.
I don't know if they have enough in that room yet to get the job done, but I feel like I DO know that we can expect significant improvement coming out of this successful season.
