What if RC at Mark & Donnie's request is keeping minutes down for valuable guys for the purpose of keeping them out of other teams' trade demands? There’s been speculation that certain players (Wright, Jax, Hardaway) might be getting "showcased" for the opposite purpose. Who’s to say Carlisle hasn’t been deep benching Bro and limiting Maxi's minutes for the opposite aim?Now that we are out of the tank-not tanking mode, that is far from what I believe is an RC viewpoint or allowance. I don't believe as tenured as he is, he'd have a problem with throwing his weight around and saying no to that, which is much more likely IMO (if it was an actual ask from the FO). I rule nothing out since we are not privy to those discussions, but this one seems pretty far-fetched.
