Largest Rotation?

What's the largest rotation of players in recent league history? I thought of this because the Lakers have a 10 man rotation and that's not even including Bynum and Ariza who will get minutes.

Has there been any larger rotations in recent memory?

No. I'm a Laker fan so I've known for a while we have a large rotation. If anything I got this idea from the Lakers commentators saying this before. Today just reminded me. I'm sorry I couldn't think of an original topic.

But back on topic. Has there ever been a team with a rotation with this many people?

I mean sure more players are fresh but there aren't enough minutes to get people in a rhythm. Has it ever worked for any team in the playoffs?

right now its the Spurs:

PG: Parker/Vaughn/Stoudemire
SG: Finley/Ginobili
SF:Bowen/Udoka
PF:Duncan/Horry
C:Oberto/K. Thomas

When healthy the Lakers will be up there too

It seems like the Spurs don't play horry that much though. Also do Vaughn and Damon get that much time behind Parker? Otherwise that's probably the deeper than the Lakers.

You already got answered, the 2000 Trailblazers.

Actually, 2001 was bigger, since in 2000 O'neal didn't play much, but in 2001 they had Dale Davis instead of Sabonis, and Shawn Kemp instead of O'neal, both of which played regular minutes

Where can I see a depth chart and minutes played?

The Utah Jazz whenever they play the Warriors. It's like a giant gangbang on Golden State.

not sure where you can find that but that was definitely one of the deepest teams ever (arguably). they had 9 different players lead the team in 9 different positive statiscal categories.

gonna need help here but:
Starting Lineup:
Dale Davis
Rasheed Wallace
Scottie Pippen
Steve Smith
Damon Stoudemire
Bench:
Bonzi Wells
Arvydas Sabonis
Shawn Kemp
Detlef Schrempf
Rod Strickland
Stacey Augmon

i believe all of them averaged at least 1 quarter of playing time.

great point, just because you have a deep or "large" rotation doesnt mean ****. its about chemistry and experience, the team with the most experience to go along with strong chemistry is.. i'll let you guess.

Jailblazers. I remember the LA Times headline read

2 deep vs Too Deep

Implying the great depth of the jailblazers in comparison the 2 deep of kobe n Shaq

99/00
http://www.nba.com/blazers/stats/1999/index.html

00/01
http://www.nba.com/blazers/stats/1999/index.html

The 00/01 team played 12 deep
Minutes Per game
Wallace 38
Pippen 33
Staudamire 32
Smith 31
Wells 26
Davis 26
Sabonis 21
Augmon
Rod Strickland 16 (Portland had far and away the best record in the league until they resigned Rod)
Anthony 16
Kemp 16
Schrempf 15

The team had bad chemistry because they were too deep. Everyone wanted more minutes. Got Dunleavey in trouble, despite doing about as good of a job as anyone could have given the situation.
