Blazers have a self-created problem that will haunt them

The Portland Trail Blazers can't play Donovan Clingan and Yang Hansen together, but they have quickly become two of their most important players. Sam Vecenie of The Athletic recently discussed this problem Portland faces on the Game Theory Podcast.

"You can't play Clingan and Yang together in my opinion," Vecenie said. "Like Yang would have to be Alperen Sengun in order to play the two-big lineup that the Rockets played. Even then, Yang does not move his feet as well as Sengun does, so it doesn't even really work that way."
