I trust Brown's coaching methodologies. He has that leader type of personality where his players will gravitate towards his words and enthusiasm and then proceed to feed off of it. In the mean time, if Vezenkov is still not seeing much playing time post All-star break, then this year may just be a transition year
I think overall it's best to just keep guys fresher as season goes along. However, I'd like to see something more consistent.
For example - Sabonis is playing great, but I do think they can keep him a bit fresher for later in season. He played 32 last game but that was just cause of garbage time. Doesn't seem like much but would rather have a 32-16 tandem of him & Len vs. 36-12. Less banged up & less "playing with foul trouble" too. 36 min per for a big like him just seems like too much of a pounding considering how physical he is & how much he is asked to do offensively and defensively. Both Jokic/Embiid play about 34, Embiid gets occassional rest games though & Joker isn't asked to do as much defensively as Sabonis does (Sabonis doesn't have an Aaron Gordon next to him for dirty work)

Not really.
We are set at the 1,3, and 5 positions. Kevin is struggling at the 2, but we have Monk who can soak up most of the minutes instead. So, 4 is our biggest need, and the reason you want HB to get the boot.
If we trade him, it will almost certainly be to upgrade that position. Of course, we'll need to add some sweetners in the form of prospects/picks. So, if anything, a trade is likely to diminish Sasha's opportunities, since the new addition will be expected to soak up most of the minutes (unless Lyles is also traded).

haha well said ...
I don't know , i just think that there has to be much more bench time in first game , in order to keep starters fresh for the other night ...
Don't know for you guys ,but i am really pissed of watching scheduled blow outs in every B2B games ...
And having in mind that Orlando looks like younger team with desire to play , and doing it well at the moment ... Fresh legs must be involed in that game if we dont want to loose by 15-20 points
