Bam is not good enough to need “stoppers”
Oh yes he is.

Are we talking about the same Adebayo that got locked up by a Geriatric Horford in the ECF last season.

I would think he'll want at least the amount of money Pritchard got - if not more..

Reduced now to crunch time only minutes might play with his psyche a bit. I know he should get some solid minutes when KP or Al are out, but will it be enough to keep him engaged?

Maybe it won't but I would rather Tillman lose interest for lack of minutes than force feed him minutes. The main goal is to win, not to make Tillman happy. If playing Tillman more minutes helps us win then he'll get his minutes.

Agreed, but if we're intending on using him for the playoffs at all, he has to be ready and acclimated to our team. We only have 3 more back to backs, so not a lot of those where Al and or KP will sit. Maybe some additional rest down the stretch for Al gets him some full games.

I look at him as a Horford replacement as first big off the bench.
