Piston Rotation Minutes (thru 11-11-24)
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Most of those look off. eg Ivey is at 32 mpg. Stew is at 22.

Re: Piston Rotation Minutes (thru 11-11-24)
There must be some sort of different breakdown that Laimbeer is using because the numbers are oddly specific.
I easily see the global totals that Bill is referring to. But I also know that there is no way that Jaden Ivey didn't have significant minutes spent at the PG position as well; which is not at all shown in the original breakdown. And there is precedent for a player being listed at more than one position (Malik Beasley) in Laimbeer's totals so it's not just that a player's primary listed position is used...
Very strange...
Edit: I just tried doing some basic searches for "Minutes played by position NBA 2024" and landed on some very weird numbers:
https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/minutes-played-nba-players-by-position
Intuitively I would figure that there are always going to be an equal number of minutes for each of the 5 positions; as at any given time for every team there is always a PG, SG, SF, PF, and C on the court. But not so according to the above, where the total minutes numbers for the positions are 13891, 22913, 14088, 13295 and 11200.
My only explanation for this is a tally by listed primary position of players and teams using small-ball / stretch lineups without a true center frequently.
