If his net rating is negative, we are factually better when he is off the court.




I'd say the same thing if his net rating was a positive 0.4, that it's pretty negligible.

Sure, and not all his minutes are with starters only, so that only carries so much relevance. Not sure why you'd just ignore any minutes that aren't all starter minutes.



b/c i'm showing you that maybe his role is better served playing less minutes, mainly with the starters. A good coach finds ways to maximize the personnel he has. Maybe Steven Adams doesn't need to be playing 28mpg.

Man, it’s really cool that we have to be careful and mindful about how many minutes we play our 27 yr old center that’s making 30 mil this year lol. And god forbid we ask our highest paid player on the team to help anchor a bench unit for 5 minutes a game.

And yet we're paying that guy $28mil thsi season and gave him an extension for 2 more years at $17mil.

That's basically proving my point. When you're paying a guy that much and the argument is that maybe he should play a good bit less, that's not a good thing, at all.
