Is RoLo expendable? (w/ poll)


My nephew texted me an interesting question after tonight's game: With the emergence of Meyers Leonard, do the Blazers NEED Robin Lopez?

This series really demonstrated the value of a "Stretch 5" in the Blazers' offense. Meyers has become a pretty good rebounder, and seems to have taken huge strides on defense.

Could the Blazers be as good (or better) starting Meyers, and bringing Kaman off the bench next season? If they re-signed Joel Freeland, do the Blazers have enough depth at center to thrive over an 82-game season?
