Oof, Blazers might take a dip in seeding :(

Kaman is a pretty solid backup. I wonder if Kaman will get the start, or if the Blazers will move Aldridge to C and start Freeland or Robinson.

[BlazerRed]

YES! I've been waiting all season to see even more of Meyers Leonard!! Said no Blazers fan ever.

This ****ing sucks :banghead:

Really sucks for the Blazers. A fractured hand is usually something you recover to basically 100% from, though, which is good news.

I do have Kaman on my fantasy team though.

If Meyers Leonard could some home become just a solid defender he we would be fine. The problem is he looks lost most of the time and can't handle stronger players. He gets bumped out of the paint with ease.

Blazers are going to be fine. It's a big hit but they're built for this. Lillard and Aldridge will go into games with even more urgency.

kaman's gonna average 15-9 while hes out. Gonna pick him up in fantasy right now.

Sounds about right for a Lopez...they are 7 foot endangered creatures after all...so fragile.

I dont think this is gonna impact their record at all. They have four players better than him and Kaman is not that far from him. They don't have bench, though.

The Blazers starting 5 is absolutely stacked, while it sucks to have Lopez out they got there 2 All-Stars and 2 of the better two way wings in the NBA they will be fine.
