IT DOESN'T MATTER where the scoring comes from as long as you get enough scoring to win. You seem to think the scoring has to come from the bench in particular. That's wrong, it doesn't.
... then it will quickly become obvious that yes, in fact, an NBA team can lose 14 points of production from one player and still win an awful lot of games. ...
... Except of course that his slump won't last long enough to really prove anything.
But it already proved something to anybody who was paying attention. It proved the team could go 2 - 3 at the beginning of Dec, including a loss to the Nets, when Lowry's scoring went to heck.
Then, on a sample size of 1, the Raps won comfortably when Lowry's scoring rebounded. As 'twere.
But okay, you want to fuss with the bench. What would you hope to do about it?
1) Trade a Raps unwanted player for some other team's unwanted player? Looks tough to gain much there.
2) Trade a Raps unwanted bench player for another team's starter, and add him to the Raps bench? How?
3) Something else you've thought of?
