I think we're set

There has never been an NBA team with a 13 man rotation.

Some of those last couple guys might get minutes with injuries or different looks game to game but in a single game the above isn't possible.
1999 Blazers were close. Fielded Mouse, Rider, Walt, BG, Sabonis. Greg, JJ, Augmon, Sheed, and Cato all played rotational minutes.
 
Here is an interesting thought for you, we used to have this player named Rasheed Wallace. I personally loved Rasheed I know alot of you didn't. Behind him on the bench was a guy named Jermaine Oniel, he didn't look that great, barely ever played. So we trade off Jermaine because(probably) he is unhappy with his playing time and yada yada. Within a year or 2 Jermaine destroys Sheed with his stats, I think he was even in the mvp discussion. Point is Neil also said that some guys no matter how well they played were gonna always band their heads on a ceiling because of the guy in front of them. Reading between the lines again I think based on what Olshey has said. + we've upgraded some positions. That the blazers thought CJ was better than Wes last year, couldn't give him Wes's minutes or oppertunity of coarse cause Wes was reportedly LA's best friend on the team. And I LOVE Wes, but thats still what I think.

Not even a smidgen of truth to this. Fact is, we didn't think CJ was good enough (yet) to even be Wesley's b/u so we went out and traded a 1st round pick for AA. Us Fans/media completely underestimated Matthews team defense. I'm guessing those inside the team weren't surprised to see our perimeter defense unravel without him. CJ blossomed in that Memphis series, but that was a surprise. Even Olshey said before the trade deadline that CJ will be an excellent player in the league . . . some day. CJ would have been buried on the bench if Wes and AA had stayed healthy. Not because of a conspiracy to keep LA happy, but because they didn't think he was ready.

Teams play with 10 or 11 rotational player all the time. Golden State just did it. Not with 13 in each game.
 
pretty much everything I said in this thread turned out to be true, just saying to all that thought I was idiotic.

Well not including the repetition and comments that didn't really address anything of substance, roughly 46% of what you said turned out to be true.
