    I'm more interested in discussing minute distribution than these bland rotation lists.

    1. James Harden - 37 minutes. I'd like to reduce his minutes slightly to keep him healthy, I think McHale is riding him a little too hard. We all know how much it sucks to have an injured superstar.

    2. Jeremy Lin - 35 minutes. The minutes taken from Harden should be give to Lin. Overall, get him more time on the court without Harden. They're playing better together, but Lin is still at his best when he gets to run the offense. There should never be a single minute where both Lin & Harden are off the court, barring injury.

    3. Chandler Parsons - 35 minutes. We need to get his minutes down so he has a bit more energy for defense, but we can't afford to take away too much with this roster as it stands... occasionally we'll have to play small ball with him at the 4.

    4. Omer Asik - 33 minutes. Give him a little more time on the court, he can handle it, and our defense sucks without him.

    5. Carlos Delfino - 26 minutes. He's being overused since the trade deadline. Delfino is best when used exactly like he was for the earlier parts of the season, as a super-sub who backs up the 2 and 3 spots. When we play small ball, he should play the 3, not the 4.

    6. Donatas Motiejunas - 28 minutes. Enough time to really see what he can do, but not so much that he has a huge burden placed on him right out the gate. (Note: This is almost identical to the average minutes Parsons got in his rookie season last year.)

    7. Greg Smith - 26 minutes. Play him at both the 4 and the 5.

    8. Patrick Beverley - 20 minutes a game. Run him alongside both Lin and Harden at times. Lin and Beverly can both guard smaller SGs so this shouldn't be a problem.

    Oh, a note on T-Rob: He can take minutes from both all three big men if the coaches think he's ready... a few here, a few there, so everybody gets theirs. But taking more minutes from Greg Smith than anyone else.

    Lin (32) Beverly (16)
    Harden (38) Delfino (10)
    Parsons (30) Delfino (18)
    D-Mo (26) Robinson (16) Parson (6)
    Asik (30) Smith (14) D-Mo (4)

    I may be surprised, but I doubt that we will see much of T-Rob this season. The guy has trade asset written on his forehead. Maybe some time towards the end of the season after the coaching staff can get the Sacramento stink out of him.

    I like this rotation and would include Garcia to along with Harden/Anderson or Parsons/Delfino on some games depending on the match ups.

    Anyone without T-Rob. He needs some RVG time to get that Sacramento stink off of him.
