Still, for teams battling injuries, there's nothing that helps more than having legitimate depth at each position. The Portland Trail Blazers managed to stay relevant last season despite constant injury trouble because of the depth they had; now, with everyone back healthy, Portland's bench will be one of the best in the league.
When Kendrick Perkins comes back in February, the Celtics could also contend for the best bench in the league honor. Shrek and Donkey will be joined by Shaquille O'Neal and Jermaine O'Neal, two former $100 million big men; Marquis Daniels, who's a year removed from averaging 13.6 points and 31.5 minutes per game for Indiana; and Delonte West, a defensively-minded guard who started his career back with Boston in 2004.
