    Don’t need a backup. Fred plays 38 minutes. Amen fills the other 10.

    I don’t think we should assume that Fred comes back the player he was. I don’t think we can ever trust Steven Adam’s health ever again. A lot of the dreamcasting about Fred and Steveo coming back, assuming no more injuries, or that their play will be what it was, is wishful thinking. Old injury prone players are risky. You can’t blame injury when you build your team around old injured players. We can’t blame injury luck when KD goes down. A KD injury is inevitable. He’ll be 38. When u sign an old DFS coming off surgery you can’t blame injury when he doesn’t perform. Injuries are not an excuse when u build around old, high injury risk players.
