Yes.  Rondo and Perk are yuong and don't need rest.  They DO need to stay sharp going into the regular season.  In the post-game PC, Doc basically said he would rest the Big Three, but my guess is they play the first six minutes or so.  Then you're going to see major minutes for the second unit (Sheed, Baby, Scal, Daniels, House) plus a final solid look at the third unit (Williams, Sweetney, Giddens, Hudson).  Not sure when TA returns.

Any idea why Baby had limited minutes and wallace Major minutes?

Baby actually got nine minutes, which is quite a lot for him.  Wallace is the backup big(when he doesn't start that is) for both Kevin and Perk so thats why he got 30.

If Baby only plays 9 minutes a game, then we overpaid for him. He will be playing a much bigger role than you seem to think.

Yes, I think you are right that we overpaid big baby.  He wasn't getting any offers above the qualifying offer and we didn't have to go above that offer.
