Largest Rotation?

[farzi]

Thats not as deep as 00/01

[bstein14]

You only need 8 or 9 solid healthy guys come playoff time.

What about the Memphis Grizzlies team who won around 50 games a couple years ago? Iirc they were very deep.

Lakers depth when we're healthy:

5) Andrew Bynum/Pau Gasol/Ronny Turiaf
4) Pau Gasol/Lamar Odom/Ronny Turiaf/Vladimir Radmanovic
3) Lamar Odom/Trevor Ariza/Vladimir Radmanovic/Luke Walton
2) Kobe Bryant/Sasha Vujacic/Trevor Ariza
1) Derek Fisher/Jordan Farmar/Sasha Vujacic

You forgot Mihm and Mbenga.

Memphis a while back played practically their whole team every game... I dunno if it was with Fratello or Hubie Brown...

Fixed...

And if you were meaning about players that can play multiple positions... Most of the teams are pretty versatile. The Jazz have 6 players that have played and can play the center position. They have also 6 players that can play the Point Guard position.

Amaze yourself..

5) Mehmet Okur/Carlos Boozer/Jarron Collins/Paul Millsap/Andrei Kirilenko/Kyrylo Fesenko
4) Carlos Boozer/Paul Millsap/Andrei Kirilenko/Mehmet Okur
3) Andrei Kirilenko/Matt Harpring/Kyle Korver/CJ Miles/Paul Millsap/Ronnie Brewer
2) Ronnie Brewer/Kyle Korver/Deron Williams/CJ Miles/Matt Harpring/Ronnie Price/Morris Almond
1) Deron Williams/Ronnie Price/Andrei Kirilenko/Jason Hart/CJ Miles/Ronnie Brewer

Yes, without Boozer and Millsap your team got absolutely raped on National Television..

I think the Jazz and Spurs are probably the most versatile teams, and considering the Arms race in the Western Conference as of late, I think the Hornets, Spurs, Jazz and Lakers stand tall as the deep teams. Something which is far gone for Phoenix and Mavs, and perhaps even the ailing Spurs.

Ya and we beat the crap out of you when we played in Los Angeles the last time. Why would you even bring up something like that when you know I'm going to slap your last loss in your face?

with respect, i was at that game, the jazz gave up in the 1st and prepared for the celtics the next day. i dont think they cared about that game.

A lot of you guys are confusing team depth with large rotations.

That Blazers team was deep, but they didn't play everyone. That was one of the things that killed their team chemistry. They were just too deep.

Most teams stick with 8 or 9 man rotations (Riley once went with a 7 man rotation in the playoffs).

The last team to use a 10 man rotation effectively was the Grizzlies. Hubie Brown somehow convinced his players (including selfish players like Jason Williams and Bonzi Wells at the time) to all buy into the team concept.

The man should be credited with being a basketball genius just by being able to pull that off.

Nah. Don't need more than 7. Most teams shorten their rotation for the playoffs.

[crackjack]

8 man rotations are still more common than 7 man rotations in the playoffs. When teams shorten their rotations, it's usually that 9th guy that loses minutes.

More than 7?

So if I have a PF/C and a PG as my 6th and 7th men who backs up the SF position?

I think most teams would need 8, unless they have several players who are capable of playing multiple positions.

The PG comes in replacing the SF and the PG becomes SG and the SG becomes SG.

What if both my PG's are 6 ft?

It was Hubie. I think Fratello actually shortened it. But with Hubie, it was something like.
