Deep rotation: Nikola Vucevic, Jeremy Lamb, Jimmy Butler, Free Agent
I love your starters one through four. Immensely talented core.
The rest of the rotation ... I don't know, it just doesn't feel right. There are good pieces there. Guys who can produce and play a role. It just doesn't feel like it all comes together right.
I love your deep bench players too. Lamb, Vucevic and Jimmy Butler.
It seems like this team will need to consistently depend on Haywood for 25-30 minutes night. Not sure how I feel about that.
I'm thinking 20 minutes a night from Haywood, 15 from Bosh, and 13 from Splitter at the 5. Something like that.
I like Jack. But I think you could use a long, rangy 2 for a different look defensively.
I've got Jeremy Lamb and Jimmy Butler, who both fit the description, with Butler being the guy most likely to play more minutes. But, I'll think about this. I like Butler as a 2/3, Lamb as a 2, Jack as a 1/2..I think I've got enough depth there but I'll ponder it.
Likewise, aren't Parsons and Thad Young more combo forwards 3/4 types? I think Butler (BTW, how did you get him? When Yoki picked him, it was for me. When I picked Terrance Williams, it was for him.) will be a rotation player, not a deep bench player.
I'm actually not really worried about Butler being a rotation player (~10 minutes a night or so), and I'll be dollars to doughnuts that he gets a lot more than that a night on the Bulls this season. Luol Deng is apparently going to opt in for wrist surgery, and its Butler who will likely take his minutes.
That being said, if Pierce is playing 30 minutes a night, Chandler Parsons can play 20 minutes a night at the 3. He was good enough to supplant Budinger from the lineup, right? He ought to be good enough to back Pierce.
Don't know if you can find a willing partner at this point, but one more trade to consolidate depth into a heavy rotation player would really help here, I think.
I've been working on it, but having a hard time finding a match I like, and I like my team well enough to not spend a dollar for $.60 on any of my rotation guys.
