There is a 0% chance their plan A will be to play 10 guys. There will be important playoff games in which 10 or even 11 GET IN, sure, but that will indicate a reaction to less than favorable circumstances. The actual rotation will be down to 9, at least, if not 8.
9 is my bet. Based on the 2 Kidd playoff appearances, 9 was pretty clearly the ideal rotation. I keep saying 9-10 with the caveat that there will be times when Maxi plays over Gafford or Dinwiddie (or Exum or Hardy -- whomever wins the bench guard spot at the time). Which takes me back to the position flexibility and versatility of the roster. Players being able to slide up or down depending on who's on the court.
