Zion and Adams? They averaged like 35 minutes between the 2 of them... Melli and Hayes have been really bad and we lose games if they play too long? What's your point here? That we need more help down low and that starting a rookie PG has absolutely nothing to do with that?
Your contradicting yourself in your logic would be the first point. And haven’t really offered any sort of reconciliation on that front. Just consistently aggressive responses and talking past the other person.
You said the reason we haven’t played NAW or Kira is because our guard play has been good enough, when it was pointed out to you that wasn’t the case you moved the goal posts to: we need to establish our starting rotation and that Bledsoe is a long term piece so we need to figure out what we have, and we need to make a choice on Lonzo. I’m not sure I agree with your assessment of Bledsoe but that’s your logic.
Then on the bigs front you say, in contradiction to your logic about the guards, we aren’t playing well enough so we need to go deeper and hopefully Wenyen can help shore up that rotation and take minutes from Hayes, who is on this team for three more years.
If the motivating logic for our rotation is we need to see what we have and don’t have then there isn’t really a reason not to be doing the same with the other guys expected to be here 3-4 years. If the reason why we are moving a bench filler like Wenyen to take minutes from Hayes is because of performance, well, again, that same rationale can be used on the guards, Bledsoe and Reddick, who have been bad at times and some fresh blood could be a solution there same as with the bigs.
I offered what I thought could square why we might do one and not the other, which ranges from political to performance, you so far are just saying contradictory things and then acting like a fricking a-hole when people challenge you on it

The big word you are missing here is starters. Yeah if starters play well you keep them in. That's my reasoning. If we are 3 games in and some starters are playing mediocre then you also play them more... Especially if one is on a contract year and the other is a new player. Adams is also a new player and Zion... I mean do I need to say more?
I have a point for every statement I made. I'm not sure if either of y'all are trying to get a "gotcha" on me but I'm simply using a mindset of a coach and applying it to our specific situation and team. And it all makes sense..
At the end of the day its about winning games and getting better. We need the starters to get better before our bench considering the new additions.
Continue to use OTHER teams history to justify our team tho. That's definitely the right path for y'all to take.

Is it possible that the core players (BI, Zion, JJ, Zo, Hart) lobbied to play extended minutes to start the season off as a sort of tone setter and a way to play themselves into shape?
The assumption seems to be this is an SVG/front office pushed thing but what if it's coming from the vets/young vets?
This team really struggled in the bubble and maybe some of the guys wanted to flip the script on that ending and not have a carryover effect of that poor showing.
I, also, keep remembering there are 10 less games this season. That does lessen the margin for error fringe playoff teams have to mess around this year. Any extended losing streaks can derail any potential playoff chances.
Idk. Devil's advocate commentary...
