How will they go next year? I am talking regular season for the now.
I would always play it the way I always have 2 of ray allen lebron james dwayne & chris bosh in at any minute of the game.
I also prefer small ball for playoffs, but not regular season.I dont want to wear down lebron & bosh for playoff time.

Joe Anthony 24 minutes/ Haslem 24
Bosh 30/lewis 18
Lebron 30/Battier 18
Wade 30/Ray 18
Chalmers 30/ Cole 18

Yes ridiculous numbers, But I want for next year in regular season to manage minutes to keep eevryone healthy for playoffs.in playoffs you give extra minutes to lebron,wade, bosh and ray.

I don't know. Meh, it's always how the game goes, who's hot (though sometimes they are benched anyway), who's not.

LeBron had short minutes until Bosh was out, but I think this might even be LeBron's shortest minutes once again unless someone is stinking it up big and he just has to be there.

But one minute someone's starting/in rotation, then their minutes go short, then they are benched. Then they magically start and suck, and back into the depths they go.

Ours starting line up/rotation is always different come playoff time.

For the regular season i see us playing a deep rotation and giving the young guys some chances to grow, while trying to keep everyone involved :

Mario-28, Cole-10, Wade-10
Wade-20, Allen-28, Harris
Lebron-34, Battie-14, Jones
Bosh-16, Lewis-16, Haslem-16, Varnado
Bosh-16, Pittman-12, Joel-12, Justin Hamilton-8

Less minutes for Lebron would be a welcome change. Let's hope Wade comes back to 09 Wade next year. If he does, Lebron will be well rested for playoffs. The last thing we need is Lebron being forced to carry the team like he did this past season.

Here's what I'd do, assuming a healthy Miller, and that Rashard at least somewhat returns to form, in the regular season:

1st
Chalmers Wade Battier Lebron Bosh 7 minutes
Lebron Allen Miller Haslem Anthony 5 minutes

2nd
Cole Wade Miller Rashard Bosh 6 minutes
Chalmers Allen Lebron Haslem Pittman 2 minutes
Wade Allen Battier Lebron Bosh 4 minutes

3rd
Chalmers Wade Battier Lebron Bosh 4 minutes
Chalmers Allen Lebron Haslem Pittman 3 minutes
Wade Allen Miller Rashard Bosh 5 minutes

4th
Chalmers Miller Lebron Haslem Anthony 4 minutes
Wade Allen Battier Lebron Bosh 8 minutes

By position:

PG: Chalmers (20), Wade (17), Lebron (5), Cole (6)
SG: Allen (27), Wade (17), Miller (4)
SF: Battier (23), Miller (16) Lebron (9)
PF: Lebron (23), Haslem (14), Rashard (11)
C: Bosh (34), Anthony (9), Pittman (5)

Totals:
Lebron 37
Wade 34
Bosh 34
Allen 27
Battier 23
Chalmers 20
Miller 20
Haslem 14
Rashard 11
Anthony 9
Cole 6
Pittman 5

The great thing with this team right now is our superiority to all other teams in the versatility category. For regular season it's all about match-ups, so the minutes will fluctuate depending on the team. The other big part of the rotations and minutes will be whether we get a viable center or shot blocker, who can command minutes and be effective.
