Well, its kind of similar to the Blazers/Jermaine O'Neal situation. Jermaine needed playing time to develop. However, the Blazers were in the midst of a championship run (which failed barely). However, it would have been risky to put Jermaine in more when at the time he was not as good as Brian Grant or Rasheed Wallace. The Blazers were playing for the moment and they didn't capitalize and now we are rebuilding. However, Blazers wouldn't be in as bad of a situation now but we would not have been as close to the title then.
