Distributing playing time could be Blazers' main challenge
Arvydas Sabonis is back. Coach Maurice Cheeks has three point guards, one of whom, Damon Stoudamire, will make $13 million and may not even start. Ruben Patterson is being kept on the bench by Scottie Pippen, who was past his prime when he left Chicago for Houston. The prevailing question in Portland this year is the same as it has been for the past few years: can ANYONE keep this collection of top-notch talent (and fragile egos) happy? Pity Mo Cheeks; there simply aren't enough balls and minutes to go around. He deserves better....
