In 2008, we needed Cassell and PJ Brown. We wiped out all of our depth to acquire KG. Our only backup guards were Eddie House and a still very raw Tony Allen (Gabe Pruitt was after him). Our backup big men were unproven 2nd year Leon Powe and rookie Big Baby Davis (after them were Scal and Scot Pollard).
In 2019, we don't have enough minutes for all the guys we presently have. There is no point guard, wing, or big man likely to be bought out that is good enough to take 10 minutes away from Rozier, Baynes, or Theis. Do we have room for a Trevor Ariza or Enes Kanter on this team? Maybe if we get hit with an injury.
