What's Your Rotation?

[Ghost Writer]

Looks like you guys are right about keeping Manu's minutes around 28-30 or so.

But I would not assume Finley is going to bury Brent.

We've seen it takes time to figure out roles on the Spurs.

Many are betting on Rasho being traded, but if the Spurs want to reduce salary, the easiest way is to let Nazr's contract end, while resigning Nazr is the surest way to increase salary. I don't see that Nazr is much better than Rasho. If Oberto shines, then Nazr is that much more expendable.

WIth that in mind, I think Nazr and Rasho's PT will be about equal for the first half of the season with matchups dictating who starts and who gets more any given game.

Tony- 30
Manu- 29
Bruce-25
Tim-32
Nazr- 28

NVE- 18
Finley-25
Barry-12
Horry-15
Oberto-15
Rasho/Marks-10
Beno- 5

keeps them rested and in synch.

BTW, I have to add that I think Oberto will have Mohammed's job by the end of the year. I love the guy. He reminds me of Brad Miller on offense and Jeff Foster on defense. He will be awesome, I'm just as excited about him as Finley and Van Excel - can't wait for the season to start

with this deep of a team
should duncan even play over 30 minutes a game?
why risk it?

this team is deep and talented enough it should win most games if duncan just plays 30 minutes
against elite teams maybe play him 36- 40 but other then that keep him right at 30

Because he's in his friggin prime. Why rest the guy when he has had a full summer of rest when he can have a huge effect on our games? A few years from now we are gonna wish we had Duncan in his prime again. I would play him 37 minutes, 35 at least, 39 at most on average. A lot of games Duncan will ask Pop to keep him in long anyway.
