“In terms of moving forward, I think there’s different structures that you can try to get to your championship,” he said. “There’s (having) two, three star players and a lot of role players or you can build a (team) of 9 or 10 very good players. I think now we’re leaning towards having a lot of solid good players, 9 or 10, that can last through the season because there’s going to be injuries. I think more and more teams are doing that.”
